Plot: A drug-dealer mistakenly takes a hit of zombie-inducing serum, resulting in a zombie outbreak in the red-light district. A group of survivors take refuge in the nearest strip-club.Why is this a contender for Best Movie. Ever?
Triple the amount of zombies. Well, not really. But still, this is one hell of a tribute to the Romero classics that spawned the entire zombie genre. I would even go as far to say Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! exceeds all of the Romero films, as it picks and chooses only the finest conventions from them and uses them with precise efficiency. Gone are all the flabby expository scenes and the overly-dramatic tones. Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! knows what it's audience wants to see. Bare women and gory killing. And this film does it like no other. Except for Zombie Strippers!, bizarrely released only a few months before. But when the concept is this good, a quick-release remake is alright by me. Besides, this manages to stand out just by focusing more on the survival and horror aspects of the genre, as well as remaining sexy and tongue-in-cheek about things as well. A good balance of moods, and an even better source of entertainment.
Best scene: The grisly confrontation between Dr Stewart, played by promising bit actor Micheal Clinkenbeard, and the remaining survivors is one of the movie's rare examples of full-horror. Nothing is played for laughs here.
Warning: There is more blood than boobs in this movie.
