Strippers vs Werewolves is a 2012 British horror film directed by Jonathan Glendening .
action
Years ago, a London strip club was attacked by werewolf. Club owner Jeanette blew up the club and thus escaped the massacre. She now runs the Vixens strip club. Jack Ferris has succeeded Tapper, who had himself locked up in HM Chaney Prison, as pack leader. Both know nothing of the other's survival.
That should change after Justice is attacked by a werewolf during a private screening and kills him with a silver ballpoint pen. They make the body disappear, but the werewolf group goes in search of their missing friend. This group also includes Justice's friend Scott, who accidentally also turns into a werewolf during Sex Justice.
They find help in Raven's friend Sinclair, an occultist who specializes in vampires. he is initially only available to the strip club for advice, as he seems to be in a hopeless situation himself.
Finally, there is a decisive battle between strippers and werewolves, at the end of which the club is blown up again. Sinclair stows the body parts of the werewolves in mason jars, preventing them from sitting down again. Since most strippers have been infected by the werewolf virus in the meantime, they survive the explosion. Together with Sinclair, they found a kind of occult task force that takes action against other supernatural beings.
After the credits, you can see Tapper freeing himself from prison.

Upon completion, he was fired and control of the cut was removed from him. He was not very enthusiastic about the last cut version, which still bore his name.

Reviews
The editorial staff of Cinema.de awarded one of five stars and rated the film as follows: “The cheap British film would like to have the esprit of ' Shaun of the Dead ' or the energy of ' From Dusk Till Dawn ', but has one or two humorous sayings and four to six bare breasts nothing to offer. There was also no money for transformation effects, so there are only lame masks. "
