                           Claudia is seemingly well on her way to fulfilling her long-held dream of becoming a lawyer; with her job stripping in a club at night she is putting herself through law school by day. The situation is complicated, however, by the deaths of her coworkers, who keep turning up savagely murdered. Now it's up to Claudia to find the killer-before he finds her, the plot involves a mysterious man with a mask who hacks up strippers with a hatchet for some unknown reason The bulk of the movie is wasted on the relationship between the detective investigating the case and his girlfriend, who happens to be the main stripper girl claudia.

            The DVD case promises strippers getting offed by some wacko with a hatchet but what you actually get is bad acting, big plot holes, mostly unattractive strippers, a non-threatening killer, (seriously he sucked as a badass killer) a very low body count and very cheap production values and an uninspired script filled with some really annoying characters.  This movie sucked more than 'Cutthroat Alley'.They tried to make some kind of 'Showgirls' meets 'Scream' type of movie but ended up with this which is a boring over shot slasher film. The main stripper claudia is a hotty though, she's the real eye candy in the movie, in fact watching her was the only reason I sat thru the entire movie without falling asleep. Though there is nudity its just not great.

3/10 Stars
