Strippers vs Werewolves - Sadly not even a cult classic

Okay, I wasn't expecting a film with the calibre of The Godfather. I kind of knew what I was getting when watching a film entitled `Strippers vs Werewolves.' However, I was at least hoping for some stupid, cheesy fun with plenty of gore and chuckles.

Unfortunately, this film doesn't deliver on any of it. I had at least reasonably high hopes, based on watching another couple of similarly-themed films: `Zombie Strippers' and `Strippers vs Zombies.' Neither of them were exactly Shakespeare, but they were at least entertaining in a totally dumbed down way (which was all I was expecting). However, Britain's attempt to cash in on this B-movie genre really doesn't take off.

For a start, the acting is bad. Yes, it's a low budget horror B-movie, but I was still hoping for a little less wooden performances. Secondly, the werewolves are about as scary as a dog you'd see hanging out of Paris Hilton's handbag. Thirdly, it's just not particularly funny. Fourthly, you won't give a damn about a single character and, finally, there's not that much gore (or at least for about ninety per cent of the movie).

In all, it's a film trying to get people to see it, based on its blatantly cheesy name. If you look this film up on the internet, you'll notice that it only took £38 at the UK box office. I'm guessing that was one person who watched the film and who bought about £30 worth of popcorn and sweets.

Is there no film that Billy Murray won't star in?

3/10 Jabba the Hutt wipes himself down with this film
