Movie review: "Zombie Strippers" (2008)

The gist: In the near future, America's fighting wars on so many fronts, it's running short of troops. So a scientist of the mad variety engineers a virus to reanimate soldiers as zombies. It gets loose – in an underground strip club.

Selling points: Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund as the amoral, germ-phobic proprietor. Jenna "retired porn star" Jameson as the head dancer who becomes an undead dancer. Mucho T&A, violence and...politics?

It's kinda like: Those extreme stage shows where chicks shoot ping-pong balls outta their whatsits. Except this particular scene uses pool balls. The silly-arse speeches bring back fond memories of the "Puppet Master" series.

Final word: The scariest thing is it occasionally makes sense.
