Megan (Alicia Watson) is really blowing on her last hole of late -
having been cheated on by her ex (Garrett Able) and thrown out by her
roommate (Haley Leary), she has to accept the hospitality of her best
friend Amanda (Courtney Riggs), and accept a job at a strip joint Amanda's
boyfriend Bobby (Stefan Rollins) and his associate Johnny (Mark Law) run -
but only as a barmaid, no nudity ... at first, as soon Megan has to notice
the actual strippers don't only make much more money than she does, they
also look down on her. So eventually, she does take the stage as a dancer
and does lapdances and all that sort of stuff - but nothing that would
cross the line, really ... which doesn't sit well with the queen bee of
the club, Jazz (Erin Brown), who gives Megan grief wherever she can. Of
course this doesn't go unnoticed by Johnny, so eventually he invites
Megan, Jazz, and Jazz's associates Carmen (Layla Heather Pendley) and Kim
(Danielle Page) to a pool party at his place, to straighten things out
between the girls. Good idea, but what Megan does not know, even though
Johnny claims to be a caring soul, he's really in league with Jazz, and
Jazz isn't only a bitch but a full blown sadistic psycho ... Well,
those of you expecting nothing but a blood and sleaze festival based on
the title be warned, Strip Club Massacre doesn't feature too much
sex and gore (though doesn't shy away from either should the occasion ask
for it) - instead it's a rather nicely built-up story that gets its
tension out of Megan's rather tragic story off-set by Jazz's rather insane
shenanigans until the whole thing comes to a head in a finale that's not
only quite mental but features quite a few unexpected twists. In all,
maybe not the re-invention of the wheel, but good genre fun!
