Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!

Some bad crack crystals cause a couple of prostitutes to turn into zombies who then descend on a strip club.
Every decade has had their own scream queens for the horror movies. The likes Fay Wray, Barbara Steele, Ingrid Pitt, Linnea Quigley for example have given an extra lift to many a horror movie and the scream queen has become something of a necessity. One of the newest to add to this list is the wonderful Tiffany Shepis whose committed playing has enlivened many a dull horror movie and made everything she appears in watchable. So after seeing the first two minutes of this dreary 'comedy' horror flick and noticing la Tiff I decided to give it a go the next night. Imagine my (all too real horror) when it turns out that she only appears in the first two minutes. So I was never really going to like this film! And I didn't. The whole thing just seemed a bit hollow although I would say to its credit that most of the actors are actually quite competent. The fault lies squarely with script and director. Pants.
