Movie Review: Strip Club Massacre (2017)
- The use of footage from Night of the Living Dead was a nice touch.
- The cast and acting were pretty good for an indie production.
- Erin Brown is always nice to see in horror films and was a good villain.
- The revenge portion of the film was very nice.
- The actions of some characters didn't seem to make sense in some situations, and the dialogue was awkward at times.
- The sound on some of the sets could have used some work.
- There were some weird short montages that seemed a bit out of place, or maybe could have been longer.
We had the pleasure of watching Strip Club Massacre this weekend. It is an enjoyable indie horror film written by Bob Clark and Bruce Kilroy, and directed by Bob Clark. It’s their writing and directorial debut in the film industry, and a good one at that. It stars Alicia Watson, Erin Brown aka Misty Mundae, and Courtney Riggs. The film opens following Megan (Alicia Watson), who is not having a very good day, to say the least. She has work trouble, relationship trouble, and after turning to her friend Amanda soon after gets into more trouble than she bargains for.
Amanda’s boyfriend Bobby gets her a job as a waitress at the strip club he owns as the previous waitress had stopped showing up. Soon after, she learns that the girls that dance there are not very pleasant, especially Jazz (Erin Brown). Jazz makes it very clear that she does not like Megan, and it shows flashbacks of some things that Jazz and her crew do to people they don’t like. Megan decides that enough is enough after Jazz and the other girls do some terrible things to her and decides to get even.
Strip Club Massacre, like any indie film, has its ups and downs. As a first effort from writer/director Bob Clark, we think that it was a great start. The cinematography was good, the acting was good, and while it seemed like the story needed more time to explain some things, it managed to get the important scenes right and the story itself is good. The gore in this film was pretty average for an indie production, but some of it was put to use in some unique ways and was definitely appreciated.
Final Thoughts: Overall, Strip Club Massacre is a fun and bloody revenge-fueled ride, and we definitely recommend giving it a watch. Reel Bloody Films should be releasing this in early May.
