Village Voice Luke Y. Thompson
Director Jay Lee (The Slaughter) delivers absolutely everything you could possibly hope for in a film called Zombie Strippers, with a consistently hilarious, brutal, and titillating mash-up of "Return of the Living Dead" and "Showgirls" that actually beats out Mark Pirro's "Nudist Colony of the Dead" for the unofficial title of best naked zombie movie ever.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Michael Ordona
Zombie Strippers is a B-movie whose ideas and wit set it well above the great unwashed of the genre.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
Shouting the title never quite prepared me for either how stripping zombies aren't as hot or as funny as I thought they would be or how quickly the movie's eager intelligence collapses on itself.
Read Full Review >Premiere Ryan Stewart
Whatever planet these dance sequences are happening on, their cuckoo surrealism is the movie's saving grace.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
On its own low-bar terms, it delivers the goods: pole-dancing, gut-chomping and Jenna J.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Felix Vasques Jr.
In spite of the horrific dialogue, and even worse acting, there’s actually something to be said for Zombie Strippers!
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
Shot on ugly digital video with Troma-grade special effects, campy humor and frighteningly bad acting, Zombie Strippers should provide many laughs for stoners watching it on video.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
Strewn with some surprisingly decent effects, this unevenly paced film delivers, if nothing else, on the promise of its title: lots of surgically enhanced nude dead women strutting their stuff.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen
Jay Lee's grotesque little horror film makes up for in audacity what it might lack in finesse.
Read Full Review >Variety Dennis Harvey
The kind of entertainment perhaps better suited to drinking games than full viewer attention.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marjorie Baumgarten
The action can be bloody, but is mostly routine. Ultimately, the film’s most eye-catching special effects are reserved for bikini waxes and implants.
Read Full Review >Empire Damon Wise
A brilliantly high-concept title and some decent gore aside, you're better off watching the version in your head. It will be infinitely more fun and have markedly improved production values.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Stephen Hunter
The movie, as its title suggests, means to be one of those Tarantino-esque in-your-face jobs, amusing on the audacity of its outrageousness. Here's how "outrageous" it is: Zzzzzz-zzzz.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Travis Nichols
Just a crappy flick for the Beavises of the world.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Scott Tobias
Currently stopping by theaters briefly en route to DVD, the film tries to position Jameson as the next Linnea Quigley, the B-movie queen behind such enduring titles as "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers" and "Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama."

I gave it a three, for the sole reason that this movie contained a very nice combination of breasts. Otherwise it's almost unwatchable.
Sim G. gave it an8:
Ah come on! You can't review movies such as this one in the same manners as you would for an Oscar nominee. This movie is all about pure fun and that's something you can tell by looking at Robert Englund's performance. Working on this movie seemed like a blast and that's enough for me to enjoy it on the right level. Yes it's filled with nudity, but it's also filled with a lot of gore, which is really appreciated for any horror fan out there. This will become a classic, a cult exploitation movie of modern days. For anybody who enjoyed 2001 Maniacs, Bad Biology or Frankenhooker, Planet Terror or Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers.
Jay H. gave it a3:
Poor sound, cheaply made and very stupid. Not as funny as it intended, poor acting and a really stupid plot. Not very engrossing nor entertaining. Not even fun in a campy way.
Maxine G. gave it a10:
Destined to be a cult classic! Tongue in cheek story and fabulous MAKE-UP and special effects make this movie a visual surprise and a very funny, gory treatise on zombies, no, strippers, no, Zombie Strippers!
Marc D. gave it a9:
[***Minor Spoilers***] I'm getting so sick of purportedly "edgy" comics like Bill Maher and the late night Comedy Central talking heads whose cutting edge humor consists largely of such tired and cliched drivel as "(Butt-head voice) Uh.huh... George Bush is dumb... uh huh...uh..." The first 5 minutes of Zombie Strippers is the freshest, funniest, most biting social commentary I've seen in while, laying waste to the current administration-at-large, Bush, Cheney, Rove, etc, but in a more incisive, intelligent AND FUNNY style. I guess it would take a zombie movie (and/or a hardcore punk song) to really do it right. Now of course it's going to be the zombie-loving (and Jenna Jameson-loving) crowd which is going to want to see this flick, but I'd even recommend it to a wider action/comedy audience looking for some serious belly laughs. Robert Englund is fantastic and hilarious in his role as the strip-bar owner. The military unit in the obligatory medical-lab-experiment-gone-wrong sequence brings something new to the table. The strippers and their dialoge are pitch-perfect, and the writer's send up of ethnic, social, and political stereotypes is refreshing. I figured Jameson and the other strippers would be brain-dead placeholders in this thing, but they are truly fantastic. What made the movie so fun for me is that you're never so worried about the consequences of a massive outbreak beyond the strip club, and you're able to have fun with the petty jealousies between the strippers (who realize that only the zombie strippers are getting the love and $$ from the guys at the bar and, therefore, WANT to make the transformation), the creative zombie lap-dances, and the bar owner's obsession with the money-making potential of his "evolved" employees. The scene with the flying ping-pong balls and pool balls just blew the lid off of my theater - I was roaring. And the final face dance.... priceless! I would say next to the remake of "Dawn of the Dead", this is one of the best modern zombie flicks I've seen in a long time.
