Vixens Strip Club, 2012. When a rather hairy customer gets a bit too amourous, stripper Justice(Adele Silva)pokes him in the eye with a pen. Vixens propreitor Jeanette(Sarah Douglas) is concerned with disposing of the body, but that's the least of her wories, as the friends of the deceased come a howling at the door, with vengeance on their minds. Can the strippers, helped by eccentric occultist Sinclair(Simon Phillips), defend Vixens from the deadly gang of werewolves....
A highly stylised comic book brought to life, Strippers vs Werewolves is a highly enjoyable horror film with its tongue and gnashers firmly in its cheek. Although Jonathan Glendenning directs, the sparkling script by Pat Higgins shines through, full of witty one liners and the introduction of the terrific character of Sinclair, a very reluctant vampire slayer with irritable bowel syndrome is a masterstroke.
Strangely enough, during the commentary for the film, Glendenning apologises to the audience for his previous effort 'Dead Cert'. I saw this film very much as an unofficial sequel, with girdles replacing gangsters. Like 'Dead Cert', this film is shallow but great fun. Please stop apologising Mr Glendenning!
The only negative for me is the absence of Higgins regular Cy Henty, a stand up comedian turned horror actor, and a great asset to any film.
Whilst it won't create intellectual debate or cure world poverty, Strippers vs Werewolves does what it says on the tin. That it does so in such an enjoyable manner is to its immense credit. Got to mention the cast too, what a cast, but many simply turn up for brief cameos. 5 out of 5 for a very enjoyable hour and a half. An entertaining commentary track and a making of featurette are the pick of the extras on the disc.
