Stripped
(2012/Inception Media DVD)
Picture:
D Sound: D Extras: D Main Program: C
Four
guys are on their way to Vegas to celebrate their friend's 21st
birthday on a weekend of drinking and debauchery ...and recording it
all. Their goal is to have an epic legendary birthday party they'll
never forget. Eager to get started with the sex, drugs and drinking,
they hire strippers, but little do they know these girls take payment
not in money but in terms of their bodies... and what was a night of
dreams turns into a nightmare that they'll never forget.
Stripped
(2012, which somehow needed two directors!) has those same guys
complete without morals head to Sin City to have the night of the
lives, turns out to be the last night of their lives. As they
journey to Sin City, they share their raunchy adventures stories,
play practical jokes, stroking each other egos and manhoods. By the
time they reach Vegas, they prove all men are dogs, and you almost
want to cheer the killer strippers and their organ donor doctor end
their lives; a fitting end to 4 guys who isn't worth spitting on,
much less saving.
This
was your typical formula horror movie with said group of teenager
boys off on the vacation of their dreams that turns into a horror
nightmare survival, their wildest dreams turns into a nightmare, and
the very thing that they wanted to abuse turns out to be their death.
The film takes the perspective from the characters filming as if
they were on a road trip to their final demise, so it was like the
Blair
Witch Project
(again!?!) with strippers instead. Unfortunately, the filming (or
should we say taping?) was so poor and you feel no sympathy towards
the characters and the moral seems to be any men who hire prostitutes
should probably die a horrible death. The sound is awful too and
there are thankfully no extras.
