Stripped (2013)

Simply A Masterpiece

Sadly Over-hyped

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Is anything in this movie original? I mean, come on now, the intro and outro are from Plan 9 from Outer Space. Also, the plot is essentially Hostel on American soil. The guys use the words "gay" and "fag" as pejoratives several times in addition to swearing too much. Really?! Did this movie need gay- bashing and homophobia to make the audience realize that these young men are unlikable? No, not so much.The guys are annoying with their talking over each other, drunken antics, trashing the posh hotel room, treatment of each other, and assertion that women are only good for one thing: their sexual gratification. I couldn't care less about any of the characters, so why should I have any kind of emotional response when the guys start falling victim to the organ-harvesting doctor/surgeon at the brothel? In fact, I cheered, because they were finally going to stop whining, moaning, complaining, and picking fights with each other. Okay, everybody's dead. Lame excuse for a movie is over. Yay! Don't waste your time on this one. It's not worth it unless you just want to laugh at how awful it is or provide your own Rifftrax, which would be fun.

There really is no storyline, a group of kids go to Vegas for a 21st Birthday. The drive to Vegas is almost a waste of filming as really nothing interesting happens so it could have been shortened. There is zero suspense as it is so obvious what is about to happen and so not real, it's just silly. These kids are completely stupid as I'm pretty sure they would not have gone to so much trouble to drive to some unknown warehouse just to meet strippers. This is Vegas after all and why would you venture anywhere to find something that is right on your doorstep. At least make the storyline a little more believable. Awful low budget film.

This was just god awful!!! Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this movie - direct to DVD. It's a birthday party celebration in Vegas that you'll have wished never happened! The acting is beyond atrocious, the music is terrible, the hand-held camera thing is derivative, the kills are bland and very cost effective, and the script really lame. The killer in this is soooo dumb and the characters all grind on your nerves. There is no tension, no gore, nothing scary, nothing humorous, nothing! They totally "ATTEMPTED" to rip off Hostel but not in a good way. It's junk like this that is so insulting, to think that these filmmakers, if you can call them that, believed that they could piggy back off of decent horror films like Hostel, and try to sell audiences cheap toilet paper is just a slap in the face. I actually feel dumber for having watched this movie. Save yourself some angst and a few brain cells and skip this movie.

Another god-awful camcorder horror movie, this time about four annoying twenty-somethings who go to Vegas as a 21st birthday celebration. One naturally has a camcorder and records everything. As is pretty much always the case with camcorder horror films the characters can't ever seem to stop talking even though they never have anything interesting to say. The endless chatter grows old fast and you want them to get killed just so they will shut up. Once the friends drive to the remote location where they will be killed off by strippers there is no logical reason to continue the camcorder gimmick so the movie switches to an equally annoying surveillance camera gimmick with some shaky hand-held camera work thrown in for no good reason since nobody is using the camcorder anymore. It's probable that the murderous strippers are hot but the movie is so poorly shot and lit that it's hard to tell for sure. Stripped has no gore or suspense and nudity that you can barely see. It's a thoroughly inept mess that nobody should waste 80 minutes of their time on.
