When they decide to go to a secluded place with a killer on the loose with no security no weapons and the cop seems to be insane not to listen to some good points, you know theres some next level dumbness going on. When the fiances friend turns his back for a good minute waiting to be killed, you cringe.

So bad it's laughable.
OllieSuave-00716 January 2022
This is one of those made-for-tv movies that aired on Lifetime that a friend and I happened to catch. It is a story about dance studio instructor Amber Clarke, soon to be wed, finding herself getting caught in the obsession of exotic male dancer Hunter from her bachelorette party, who will stop at nothing to keep her from tying the knot.
It's a mindless movie with a silly plot that seems to blend in elements of teenage date & slasher flicks and soap opera drama, but only with worst acting. There are predictable moments in the movie, but you get a good dose of intrigue and thrills here and there.
Every character is so put-together, neatly groomed, and polished it seems the filmmakers didn't even try to insert some realism in it. The men dancers make good eye candy for the ladies, but the women are portrayed like spoiled, rich brats.
But again, as with the acting, it is so bad that you couldn't help but laugh. You won't see this movie winning any Emmys, but it sure gives you some mindless fun to pass the time with.
Grade C+

Typical LMN movie
mzefabulous7 September 2019
It was the typical Lifetime movie. Naive people who always blind to what's right there staring at them in the face. The birth was way off and to far fetched to be believable. If the birth was believable it would have been better.
Seriously, one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

I couldn't tell if this was suppose to be a comedy, a horror, or just a waste of time. The acting was as bad as could be, the plot was stupid, and the pacing was comical. And, once they finally kill him, they go on with the wedding like nothing ever happened although the best man and maid of honor are both killed. Someone gave this an 8 star? I mean, seriously? We stent two hours laughing at what was suppose to be scary. Sad sad sad.
Oh boy

The Ordeals of Planning a Wedding
lavatch22 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The principal action of "Psycho Stripper" (a.k.a., "Stripped") is the planning of a beautiful wedding ceremony for Amber Clarke, who is about to become Mrs. Owen Mathison. But the lives of the happy couple are disrupted by a crazed male stripper, who appears to want to marry Amber himself.
There was a lively environment created in the dance studio run by Amber. The dance sequences and instruction were made credible by a skilled set of dancers playing the roles of Amber and her friends. It was especially Taryn Belle who was the dynamic centerpiece for the dancing.
My favorite character in the film was Mitchie, one of Amber's close friends. The quick-thinking Mitchie was the first to recognize that Preston Hunter McCain was a complete phony and posed a threat to her good friend Amber. Unfortunately for Mitchie, her perceptive scrutiny of Hunter led to her early exit from the planet and from the film.
The filmmakers attempted to develop how the poor communications between the soon-to-be newlyweds caused friction in their relationship and, above all, allowed Hunter to continue his predatory acts. Owen failed to disclose to Amber the entire story of his previous relationship to Megan and how she had been harassed by a lunatic and died under suspicious circumstances. For her part, Amber could have kept Owen in the loop about how a bizarre exotic male dancer had signed on for her class and was being overly flirtatious. Early in the film, they had the opportunity to put their stories together and recognize the threat that was posed by Hunter.
The close of the film was fairly routine and, curiously, never even elicited a 911 call to the police. In the spectacular setting of a villa, the wedding reception is being carefully planned, when Hunter intrudes on the scene. Two more of Amber's close friends will be the victims of Hunter's psychopathic obsession. If only Amber and Owen had been a little more open with each other, the wedding would have been a joyous, instead of lugubrious, celebration.

Better than expected

It may sound like an exploitative Lifetime movie but this thriller has quite a well constructed story. A stripper at a bachelorette party obsesses over a bride to be. The cast is believable and well cast.
Entertaining watch.

This was a fun movie that you shouldn't take seriously.
My observations:
High body count - 4. Hunter's previous fiance (offscreen, auto accident), beauty shop owner (stabbed to death), groomsman (strangled), and Taryn (impaled). All courtesy of Hunter.
The male exotic dancers look rather scrawny and have the sex appeal of a peeled grape. Hunter, however is the exception.
Owen Mathison (fiance) comes across like a wuss.
Margot Mathison (Owen's mother) is a complete tool. Why didn't they have someone hit her over the head at least?
Taryn was a completely hot chick! Why, why why was she killed!!!
The ending - with Hunter being killed by a combination of hairspray (in his face) and an ax in a tree stump or whatever - was over the top!
Fun to watch provided you've had a drink or three (or four).

I really enjoyed this movie. The villain is not in your face and seems like a normal guy if a little forward. The story has meat to it. This is one of the better Lifetime movies. I was never bored and it kept my attention all the way through. It had just enough of the standard Lifetime suspense and wackiness.
Never a dull moment

I loved this movie, just when you think the killer is going to be someone creepy with the obvious creepy look, you end up getting this gorgeous man and he can act too, it makes the movie even better because you just never know how psycho he really is until you start talking to him.
Gotta love the surprises they come up with, I hope to see this actor Tyler Johnson on more Lifetime movies before he hits the big screen! It's a matter of time.
