good back-story, and good acting
Gutsycurene
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Blistering performances.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

This isn't the typical 'found footage' film. No ghosties, ghoulies, three-legged beasties and things going bump in the night. This is a whole new level to organ harvesting. The first half of the film was quite funny. The four young men acted as retarded and testosterone-fueled as young men normally do when faced with a trip to Vegas. On the way, they stop and pick up the best friend/casual screw girl of one of the men, because she wants to meet her full time boyfriend there. They get there, and frivolity and revelry ensues. They get massively drunk and phone a local whorehouse for directions and an appointment.That's when everything goes wrong, both with the trip and the movie. Up until then, it was a fun and mildly humorous flick, enjoyable for the homage to the ribald buddy movies of Hollywood. Once you get into the slice and dice portion of the film, it rapidly descends into truly wretched torture porn. The 'doctor' who does the harvesting skulks around in the dark warehouse with a surgical mask covering the lower half of his face for the entire second half. He's not even mildly interesting, nor is he really creepy, which defeats the purpose of having him there in the first place. The whores are passably pretty, with the exception of the woman who takes the birthday boy downstairs for a private dance. There's just something stunningly beautiful about a woman who really loves to dance. The way she moves her body is musical. That was the only good part to the whole second half. The blonde was simply breathtaking in the way she moved her body, and the rapturous expression on her face elevated it to another level. It was a good effort, but could've done without much of the second half.

Man that doctor scared the fish outta me! I had no lights on in the room, but it got too scary so I had to turn on my lava lamp. It started out funny and stuff, great acting I thought they were not acting until halfway through the movie! (Same with Project X, I thought they were just recording it all). Then it progressed into very scary, I was about to cry, holy moly. Watch this movie, and I bet you will be über scared like I was. I liked it but it was so scary. The girls were hot and the beer was cold, the games were few but the scariness was high. Vegas was a perfect place for the movie to be set in. I don't agree with the other reviews, I thought that this movie was outstanding. Most reviews on movies, especially comedies and horror movies are underrated in my opinion.

Stripped is just plain horrible, and not in a scary way, even by Z-movie standards. It feels and plays like a bad student film project with a three thousand dollar budget. It takes place in Las Vegas and involves murderous strippers luring people to to a remote location to "strip" them of their organs.The writing is lame, the dialogue is cliché, and it doesn't even have those wonderfully corny one-liners you usually get in that type of movie. The acting is laughable and doesn't even reach TV Soap quality, which would have been nice here actually. Worse, all the characters are annoying. The suspense and enjoyment are non-existent, and the movie (at 80 minutes) felt twice as long as it actually is, and this is from someone who usually enjoys those kind of movies as long as there's some cleverness, enthusiasm and talent behind it. This review is already too long for such a piece of manure. Don't get suckered by the cover art. Don't expect good titillation, gore or fun. Don't pay it, don't even watch it for free. If you already did, then you now understand what I meant. You want something good in a similar vein, rent Lesbian Vampire Killers instead.Great Dane

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.
