Just another low budget, boring, movie. You know, I'm not against low budget or indie films, far from it. But when people put together trash like this with horrible effects, bad acting, and painful dialog...no amount of boobies can cover for it.It's actually a little insulting to throw together crap like this and expect people to enjoy it because you included strippers. As if you think the public doesn't have enough common sense to know a bad movie because you put attractive women on the screen. Zombie Strippers didn't have a huge budget but that movie was funny at least, and it had way more nudity. All the people giving this a high rating are included in the production or are friends. I would tell you the plot but there's none to be had...after the first few minutes I couldn't stand it anymore and scanned through the rest of the movie looking to see if there was something exciting or interesting to look forward to. There wasn't.As a class project in college...this would have been acceptable. But to put this out for sale of any kind is a rip-off. The people involved should be ashamed of themselves.

I had read a few negative reviews about this movie, so maybe I wasn't expecting much...but I liked it. From reading the Horror sites, I already knew that this was made by some first-time filmmakers, horror fans, who had funded the entire movie on their personal credit cards...so i was interested to see how bad it was going to be.To my surprise, I actually thought they did a pretty good job considering the ultra-low budget. It is slow to get started, it's shot on HD not film, some of the acting is a little stiff, and a lot of the fx are kinda cheesy...but I have seen some really craptastic low-budget movies in my day, and this one actually comes out as much more professional than most.The budget is apparent with things like fx and production quality, but the filmmakers seemed to really put a lot of thought and work into the story and characters. The girls are smoking hot playboy models, and the comedy is...well, actually pretty funny, which is rare in most self proclaimed horror-comedy movies.Anyway, to sum it up...if you are expecting a Hollywood grade movie...you will be sadly disappointed, and probably hate the movie. But, if you are a fan of low-budget horror, get the jokes, and support horror fans that have the guts to risk their own money to make a movie...then this may be a treat for you. And if you are a wanna-be filmmaker, you will definitely enjoy the making of stuff in the special features...maybe even more than the movie itself.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
After a mishap with a new drug, the experiment's subjects (aka 'victims') turn into ravenous flesh-eating zombies. Locked up in a strip club, a group of exotic dancers must fight for their lives against the horde of undead or fall victim to the infectious bite of the rotting ghouls.Rookie director Jason Murphy brings another installment in the 'Undead Exotic Dancer' subsubgenre (being released just before Zombie Strippers! (2008)) with his film Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!. While I wasn't such a fan of the mildly entertaining Zombie Strippers!, I thought I would give this one a look to help viewers choose which Naked Flesheaters (title for the next one?) were more worth the watch. When it comes down to it, this film doesn't have to work very hard to please me. Horror-comedies make up a good amount of my favourite films (from Freaked to Shaun of the Dead, I'll take 'em all). Toss in zombies (the best subgenre in horror) and naked, blood-soaked women and you've got it made. Zombie Strippers! failed, for me, because it tried too hard without the ability to attain what it wanted to be. Had it simply take itself less seriously, it would've been more enjoyable. Luckily, Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! knew how to take itself for what it was: A fun, light-hearted zombie romp through a gentleman's club. The opening scene alone, while not technically part of the film itself, is one of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a horror film. It ranks up there with Nic Cage in a bear costume (though this one was intentionally hilarious). As a $200,000 budget would suggest, there are some pretty obvious problems. Most notably, the audio/video quality is very cheap. The sound ranges from ear-piercing to muffled and can get annoying. Also, the cheap shot-on-video look is something that has been putting off a lot of horror fans from modern low-budget cinema. It's something that needs to be looked past, however, in order to enjoy a film like this. It is helped, however, that the poor video quality is showing someone like Lyanna Tumaneng (who plays Dallas Skye). Beyond the a/v problems, the rest of the problems of low-budget film-making show, but the filmmakers knew how to utilize them in a way that makes them funny enough to laugh WITH instead of laugh AT. That's really what makes the film worth it. . . it knows it's bad, and it takes advantage of that. If cheesy schlock isn't for you, then neither is this film.Final verdict: 5.5/10 – Averaged from an 8/10 for entertainment and a 3/10 as a film.-AP3-

I'll make this short and sweet.People that gave this 1 star need to watch more movies.That being said, this is an average low-budget flick. The special effects are below par, relying heavily on very poor CGI, especially towards the end. There are some decent "low-tech" effects scattered throughout.Also, it is shot in HD and not on film, which only makes it look cheaper.The acting is a mixed bag with some really good acting and some really bad acting, but mostly the acting is average.The writing is quite good, which is refreshing for a low-budget zombie movie. It seems like the writers actually bothered to come up with some plot twists of their own, which is uncommon for the ridiculously derivative zombie genre. Even if some of their ideas didn't pan out so well in the film, they still get points for not just puking out the same mind-numbing crap you usually get with these kind of movies.The characters are well-developed and actually seem like real people.Overall, worth a rent if you have some time to kill, but I wouldn't buy it.

Okay, okay... For those zombie movie purists appalled by this film, what did you expect with a tag line of "strippers vs. zombies"? Do you read the box BEFORE you rent movies? I'll bet you also pour out a glass of clotted milk after having noticed that it was expired, drink it, and then complain that it was bad.As far a plots go, this movie had a hell of a lot better plot than a lot of classic cult films. The characters were as well developed as you could expect and the actors performed admirably. Poor special effects are to be expected with a plot line like this and I would have been disappointed if the FX were outstanding.This is movie is great for those who appreciate cheesy movies. My final unsolicited advice to those who delight in expressing their distaste would be to RTFB before you rent. In so doing, you will protect your finely honed sensibilities and we won't have to read your whining, mewling reviews.

Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! is newcomer Jason Murphy's debut film, and taking that into account, it is not too bad. However, amidst the recent slew of low-budget horror (and especially low-budget zombie horror), this is rather weak for a number of reasons. For one, this is a case of not knowing how to balance two different genres in the one movie. This is no doubt a difficult task to master, but when done right, can make for an immensely entertaining experience. The Evil Dead, Shaun of the Dead and Re-Animator both blended horror and comedy very well into the one movie. This film also tries this, but fails rather miserable. Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! is not at all scary, and only amusing thanks to the surprisingly good acting from a mostly unknown cast.The story behind the zombie outbreak in this film is quickly explained and rather funny. Simply, a scientist is in the process of experimenting with regenerating cells, when a dopey pothead comes around to get some quality drug. For some reason, this guy mixes the scientist's concoctions and creates some new drug which turns people into zombies. Eventually, a group of strippers, prostitutes, their friends and a pimp are all holed up in a strip club fending off against a horde of the undead.No, the plot is not award winning, but it suits this no-budget movie. The script is rather funny, but lacks a fast pace or any good shock moments. There is not a lot of gore on offer surprisingly for a zombie flick, although there are some neat gags. The use of CGI is rather dodgy, as none of it looks convincing. Also, oddly enough, for a movie set in a strip club and whose main characters are strippers, there is very little nudity.Anyway, this is a decent enough effort that is marred by a few glaring issues. 2/5
"If it doesn't get me laid or high I'm not interested." Whether you like it or not will depend on your expectations., 14 November 2009 Author: Paul Andrews (poolandrews@hotmail.com) from UK
Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! starts as general sleaze ball Lucas turns up at his mate Dr. Stewart's (Michael Clinkenbeard) research laboratory to blag some drugs off him, Dr. Stewart agrees to give Lucas some top quality stuff but it gets mixed up with Dr. Stewart's latest experiment which is a drug for curing cancer. Unfortunately the drug has the unwanted side-effect of turning anyone who takes it into flesh eating zombies. Lucas owes money to pimp Johnny 'Backhand' Vegas (Anthony Headen) who takes the drugs as payment & a couple of his hooker girls steal some & quickly turn into flesh eating zombies & attack some of the girls from the local strip bar who lock themselves inside the bar but are trapped. Can they find a away to escape or will the ever increasing number of zombies outside find a way in & eat them?Also known as Strippers vs. Zombies (the version I saw had this title on the opening credits) this cheap low budget zombie film was directed by Jason Murphy & while it tries to be gory & funny & sexy I didn't think it worked that well & anyone with any level of expectation is going to be disappointed with it. The script is poor really with a lacklustre reason behind the zombie outbreak, all of it's female character's are either prostitutes or strippers, the dialogue is occasionally amusing but the swearing & lame one-liners get tedious & even at only 80 odd minutes in length it's pretty slow going at times. One part of the script I couldn't get my head around was when two of the character's decided to make a run for it to Dr. Stewart's laboratory to try & find a cure & I was sat there thinking why doesn't everyone stuck in the strip club just jump in the car with them & get as far away from the zombies as possible rather then trapping themselves inside the club & why do those two character's even bother going back? The film plays like The Night of the Living Dead (1968) only the human survivors are trapped inside a strip club rather than a farmhouse & there's lots of childish humour that is meant to appeal to the lowest common denominator.The special make-up effects are poor, the CGI effects are terrible with some awful exploding zombies that look really bad & there's not that much gore either. There's a ripped-off arm, some bite wounds, some blood splatter, some gunshot wounds, a little intestine eating & that's it. There's certainly nothing that memorable here & considering the amount of opportunity available there's actually very little nudity either. Sure there are some good looking birds here but is that really enough? I don't think so. The film has that cheap low budget shot on a camcorder look to it & the entire film seems to take place in & around a car park. There are no scares or tension & because of the low budget no sort of atmosphere.The IMDb reckons Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! had a budget of about $30,000 which is low & it does show at times with poor effects, a single location & cheap production values. Apparently shot in Orlando in Florida. The acting is awful & the prolific Tiffany Shepis (she has twenty one acting credits for the year 2009 alone) is the only cast member of note.Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! is a poor low budget zombie film that tries to mix horror, gore, nudity, comedy & girls with large breast's which is fine I suppose but as a film it's just not very good & none of those elements are done justice.
Ehhh. It was OK, I guess, 9 July 2009 Author: Hazular from United Kingdom
ZZZ isn't the worst low budget movie ever made, by a long shot. But that doesn't mean it's good. There's plot holes galore, awful special effects, and a wooden plot line. And who knew blood could be bright pink? The actors, for the most part, actually seem quite competent, and do their best to make this movie entertaining- making the best of a bad situation, as it were. However, the characters have no depth, and as a viewer I didn't really care whether they lived or died. Or got eaten.Overall, I wouldn't recommend actively looking to watch this movie, but if it happens to be on, by all means watch it for a few laughs.

I just watch this yesterday after bought the DVD 2 days ago. I was so excited to see this movie since I'm a horror maniac & curious to see how those chicks deals with the zombies. OK, judging from the script, the story is fine but the glitch is I didn't see any comedy stuff in this film. Almost everything were familiar like other zombie movies, it resembles to Night of the living dead in the scene of Dallas & Chris getting away from zombies to find some help, & Dawn of the dead in the scene of hiding themself into the night club(mall in DOTD). What I really like is the scene of the stripper's dancing & the strippers fighting with the zombies. That is freak'n awesome especially Jessica Barton, she's too damn hot in this film. But too bad her role is too minor when fighting with the zombies imo... As for the CGI & the effects I'll be honest that they were poorly made especially the blood which looks exactly like strawberry jam, some stabbed zombie, & some zombie explosion. Well, I guess that's all I can say 'bout this movie but my personal thought is I'd really expecting some sequel that shown more of Jessica Barton's acting, because I really like her. & as long as she's there, who cares if the movie would be low budget or terribly made.

"Zombies! Zombies! Zombies" is an enjoyable, if somewhat decent zombie effort.**SPOILERS**Working at a strip club, veteran Dallas Skye, (Lyanna Tumaneng) manages to take newcomer Harley Wood, (Hollie Winnard) under her wing in order to help her adjust to the stage, along with Dakota, (Jessica Barton) and Pandora, (Juliet Reeves) the other dancers at the club. When they manage to run into local pimp Johnny 'BackHand' Vegas, (Anthony Headen) afterward, they realize that some of his charges have become zombies and return back to the strip club along with friends Chris, (Sean Harriman) Clive, (Valensky Sylvain) and Steven, (Landon Ashworth) and try to find a way out. Finding out that the zombies are the result of exposure to a new experimental drug that was supposed to cure cancer, they try to survive the onslaught from the ever-growing masses of the undead.The Good News: This here was a pretty enjoyable effort with a lot to like about it. One of the best ones is that there's a sense of fun here that is really apparent in the film. This one has plenty to like about that, from the numerous jokes to the atmosphere and much, much more. The jokes here run the gamut, from a running gag with the arguing couples to the behavior of the pimp to his charges and the friendly banter between the other dancers backstage, it has some rather funny moments from time to time. Even some of the stuff with the zombies manages to get a chuckle, such as their constant tactic of managing to sneak up from twenty feet away of the victim unaware of their condition and the attack being watched through the closed-circuit cameras and a remark is made each time, as well as the different encounters that generate a few good chuckle-worthy moments here and there. Beyond the humor, there's also some fun to be had from the zombies, which look nice enough. While they're not entirely spectacular nor among the best of the genre, they look serviceable enough and are at least worthwhile enough to count. The film also manages to score some nice points for introducing one of the most innovative, clever and original methods of getting rid of the zombies at the end, with a fantastic segment that is played off nicely and gets major points for doing something so new about it. It even has some nice work within the strip club, with those scenes coming out with some effective moments at offering up some fun. The opening stripping scenes are effective with this, but the main one, where the couple settle an argument with a surprisingly erotic and effective lap-dance that is every bit as good as it should've been. The last plus here is the gore, which here is quite messy. There's a multitude of bites across the arms, shoulders, neck and back of the head, shotgun- and normal gun-wounds, a dismembered body, some sword wounds and plenty of non-lethal but still bloody wounds in here, making for a very messy an quite enjoyable time. These here make this one quite enjoyable and entertaining.The Bad News: There wasn't a whole lot really wrong with this one. One of the main issues is that this one manages to pretty much downplay the sleazy aspects the premise mandates. For all the amount of time spent in the strip club, there's not much nudity at all on display, which is a little bit shocking when it's realized. Granted, what's there isn't bad at all, but it really could've used a little more in terms of overall amount considering where it's taking place and what's happening in the course of the film. It isn't detrimental, but it's still noticeable and really should've been fixed. The only other flaw to this is that the zombies here look really terrible, and not that well-done. These are done in the still-alive-with-just-bloody-wounds visible approach, which isn't that great and doesn't look that good compared to other zombie efforts out there. These here are all that hold this one down.The Final Verdict: While it does miss out on a few good moments, this is still entertaining enough to offer up some rather good parts on it's own. Worth a look for those who enjoy the genre or looking for a rather cheap fix of the style, while those looking for more complete fare should seek elsewhere Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Nudity
