Sexy. Bloody. Hilarious. If you say so.
From a press release that just hit my inbox:
Worldwide media sensation JENNA JAMESON and Nightmare on Elm Street’s ROBERT ENGLUND star in ZOMBIE STRIPPERS.When a secret government agency lets out a deadly chemo virus causing the reanimation of the dead, the first place to get hit is Rhino’s, a hot underground strip club. As one of the strippers gets the virus, she turns into a supernatural, flesh-eating zombie stripper, making her the hit of the club. Do the rest of the girls fight the temptation to be like the star stripper, even if there is no turning back? Also featuring ROXY SAINT (of the Goth band Roxy Saint and the Blackouts) and Ultimate Fighting Champion TITO ORTIZ, ZOMBIE STRIPPERS is a sexy, bloody, hilarious good time!
So I take it “worldwide media sensation,” is the new euphemism for “porn star?”
Also, I’m pretty certain the “sexy, bloody, hilarious” line is just PR-speak for “nudity, gore, and irony.”
This whole project is misconceived. STRIPPER ZOMBIES would be far more bloody and hilarious, and probably sexier, too.

What was funny and rather telling I think was that the trailer for this played before the menu on the DVD of Southland Tales. Which I think goes straight to the weird ambiguity that I think was part of what turned a lot of people off on that movie, it’s sort of simultaneously similar to Zombie Strippers and pissed off that people actually like movies like that.

It gets weirder. Here is an article by one of the zombie extras, apparently an orthodox Jew, about his religious struggle over being in the movie:

Rhino, the underground strip club where a zombie stripper virus lets loose: a field day for medical and sexual symbolism.
Imagine choosing between this and Saw V!
