Story: Members Club starts when middle-aged stripper group Alan (Kilbey), Neil (Benson), Deano (Noble), Ratboy (Monero) and Carly (Alexander) have hit hard times. However, their luck turns around when they get a massive offer for a one-off show in a rural men’s club. The gig feels like it is too good to be true, but it’s an offer they can’t refuse.
When the performance begins, the guys discover they have been tricked by a murderous 16th-century witch. It has risen from the dead and comes out to attack the dancers, and they must figure out how to escape.
Verdict on Members Club
Members Club is a horror comedy following a group of male strippers who take a job at a rural location. However, they find themselves being hunted by an ancient witch that has been revived as part of a ceremony. It becomes a race against time to escape and escape the evil spell.
This movie brings to life another niche comedy concept in horror. One we are used to seeing the women being the strippers and we get the flip here. It plays into the comedy of everything happening in a way only British humor clicks. At the core of everything it is a survival horror through and through. The guys commit to the performance, while the women bring the brains to the role. We get fun comedy, good blood splatter and an entertaining time.
Final Thoughts – Members Club is an entertaining good time.
