danielrasenberg I had so much fun with this film. I literally went in only knowing that it was a "light" horror set in a strip club. That's exactly what it ended up being and I have to say, the writing is what made this a pleasure to watch. Yes, the characters are not super deep, but that's to be expected from a strip club horror. But, having said that, each character did have their "thing" and they were not superficial. You cared about them on some level and it's refreshing to see a horror film which you think will be schlock and turn around and surprise you. Fun story and good kills. Special effects were great. Ending seemed a little rushed but it made up for it with one final kill. You have to see this to believe it! Got the DVD. Special features are awesome! Thanks Peelers!
Michael Ledo You can't go wrong with strippers and zombies, or near zombies in this case. The setting is a small town strip club with strippers far too pretty and too many to be believable (three dancers maximum, one has to look like me in a dress). Filmed in Vancouver (where the last coal mine had shut down a year ago) a group of Hispanic coal miners make their way into the bar.The first 30 minutes or so establish character and allow us to watch the strippers, with one golden shower spray they could have omitted. Eventually our miners turn into ? and an issue arises on how to kill something that keeps coming back to life.I found the dialogue to be more crude and adolescent than funny. They had a running gag of "Don't call me BJ" which wasn't funny the first time they used it or the tenth time. Seriously, if you find someone killed at a club, the first action would be to shut down and call the police unless you killed them...and you might want to go outside and call them.The film also had good dialogue that worked when they weren't attempting to be crass. 3 stars minimum for anything stripper and zombie.Guide: F-word. lap dance. Nudity (Momona Komagata, Wren Walker, Nikki Wallin, Victoria Gomez, + a couple more. Just about everyone in the film had a credited body double)
indrid_cold1313 After an effective sequence where a mysterious man vomits and turns into a zombie in a dark hospital, things start in earnest in the newest entry in the strip club horror genre; Peelers from director/co- writer Sevé Schelenz (with a screenplay from Lisa DeVita). Following that bit of freaky fun we are introduced to the denizens of a rural strip joint, owned and operated by the no nonsense Blue Jean, on it's final night of operation. Let me stop the sinister synopsis right here and say that these characters are instantly likable, an important element a lot of modern fright flick maestros seem to forget…we need to actually like the people that are about to meet their doom, or the whole affair becomes an exercise in hollow tedium…moving on. In the audience of the club this fateful night are a group of miners who have recently discovered oil in the town's coal mine…a strange occurrence which of course is not as it seems as the vicious black liquid has infected these blokes and is turning them into bloodthirsty pseudo-zombies. of course the infection spreads and these ghastly ghouls begin shredding strippers (and patrons) in the most over-the-top ways possible! Blood (and other fluids) spray six ways to Sunday as our comely heroes (and a few dudes as well) try and keep on livin'!A fright flick needs a few crucial elements to score high with me; namely the unholy trinity: boobs, blood, and bad guys. Well, I'm happy to report that Peelers has all three; you get gobs of grizzly gore splashed across the sinister screen (most utilizing glorious practical effects), mounds of mammaries, and hordes or ravenous monsters (with a unique origin no less) ready and willing to cause all manner of chaos! Along with that awesomeness you get a film that while doubtless produced on a lower budget sure as hell doesn't look as though it was! The sheer amount of effects, not to mention things like including more sets than just the club (which is where the action would be contained exclusively in most film's of this ilk), make this seem like a high budget production and while that never really factors in to my enjoyment of a film, it certainly took me by (pleasant) surprise! And while the story may involve classic tropes of our beloved horror biz ("zombies" attacking a group of folks in a single location), the diversity of effects, strong performances, and fun storytelling (a female lead that goes straight into kick-ass mode when faced with a nightmare scenario was a nice change of pace); which deftly balances laughs and scares without ever swaying into "wink wink" satire, make the whole affair seem fresh…oh, and the method of dispatching our not-so-merry monsters is creative as well, but you'll have to watch the flick to learn more about that!Crude, gory, sexy, and most of all fun as f**k, Peelers is a fright flick you need to feast your putrid peepers on post-god damn-haste!
billmansley Caught this on iTunes and was pleasantly surprised. In all honesty I didn't expect much but I did hear some good things about it before going in. Bottom line - it was good. I decided to check IMDb out and was a bit shocked at some of the hate on for the film. After reading some of the user reviews I thought, "Did you see the same movie"?? Come on, some of these complaints are ridiculous. Bad Special Effects? I don't think so. They looked great. Bad Cinematography? Ummm, what?? Looked great. Yes, you can totally tell this is an indie film. It's not Batman vs Superman. They obviously didn't have a big budget but for what it is, it's great. Looking a little deeper, I'm guessing the haters are not haters (plural) but one hater doing multiple reviews. Now, having said that, I think some of the other reviews may be a bit over-glowing and I get the sense that maybe some family/friends of the film are involved so I think in the end, go somewhere in the middle. A 7 for sure! Horror fans will like. I know I did!
