Nudist Colony of the Dead

One of those films that you need a half-rack or phatty to sit through. But, once the effects from your favorite mind number start to hit you, this one becomes rather enjoyable. Rocky Horror Picture Show wannabe has nudists that killed themselves in a suicide pact come back and terrorize the right-wingers that got the nudist colony shut down.

Most of the nudity is in the opening credits and then that ain't much. For nudists, they sure do wear a lot. Boobies, that's it..Nary a butt shot. Pretty weak. The musical numbers have some crazy lyrics, and the break you get from the poor acting makes them even more enjoyable. A perfect cult movie candidate.

I was pleasantly surprised, Nudist colony had much more professional look than I've expected.It offers the right combination of campy horror, religious satire and musical numbers to create refreshing and entertaining viewing experience. There was even a bit of funny gore thrown in for a good measure. Mr. Pirro, I applaud you. I've heard of this movie before but wasn't too anxious to see it. I didn't know what I was missing! Lord, forgive me for I didn't know how delightful Nudist Colony of the Dead could be. From the first scenes at the court where angry bible thumpers accuse poor nudists of corrupting the neighborhood to the final appearance of the naked corpses singing their anthem Kill all the zealots, this movie is a treat for all lovers of genuine low budget horror comedies. Nudists oppressed by the moral majority can't stand life without their favorite colony and decide to commit suicide but later they return to kick the butt of those crucifix bashers who dare to set foot on their land... It sounds like extremely funny idea to me. I consider this to be the best shot on Super 8 movie I've ever seen. It has more competent zombie make up than Zombie Lake and some other straight zombie movies that were meant to be horrifying, the humor works fine most the time and I am sure that the director was aware of budget limitations and all the performers did their best. Songs are simple but catchy and religious jokes are presented so often one can forgive that some of them feel a bit forced. There are some truly great characters in Nudist Colony: The black ranger who tries to convince bible thumping visitors of the colony that former inhabitants came back from the grave, one of female nudists dressed in hilarious body suit with wrinkled rubber breasts or the obsessive bible reader who has the Book of the books shoved down his throat... I found Nudist Colony of the Dead to be extremely amusing and witty but I understand that viewers who are easily offended and those who expect acting and production values on par with Citizen Kane even from movies shot on Super 8 would rather choke on Satan's vomit than watch this.

Quite probably the only nudist zombie musical in existence, Nudist Colony of the Dead is, as if you really need to be told, very dumb indeed. In addition to the absurd premise—vengeful nudist zombies rise from their graves to attack members of a religious summer camp—we get crazy characters, offbeat humour, hokey gore, a smidgen of gratuitous nudity (although not nearly as much as one might expect) and several impromptu song and dance routines.

Even though the film suffers from obvious budgetary and technical restraints, with a cast of enthusiastic but not particularly talented performers, it's hard not to admire writer/director Mark Pirro just a little for actually bringing his ridiculous and ambitious vision to the screen. The songs are cringe-worthy, the dancing is dreadful, and the gags aren't all that funny, but all involved throw themselves completely into the project, and their fun proves infectious, making the film a mindlessly enjoyable time waster for undiscerning fans of low-budget cult cinema.

Zombie nudists attack campers five years after the closure of the Sunny Buttocks nudist colony in various musical numbers.

One of the oddest films I've ever seen. There's barely any nudity in this movie. I bet it could get a PG 13 easily. And BTW, it's a MUSICAL.

I guess they wanted to do something like Rocky Horror n a budget. A real low budget.

It's really dumb and not very good, but oddly watchable. I'm surprised it doesnt have cult status.

I can't give it a high rating, but I can suggest you see it for yourself.

I never had any issues watching a different kind of movie! Trust me,his is one such - Funny (an Adult Comedy, of course). When I saw this movie, I was really surprised. I have seen Walking-Dead movies (most of the time it was pointed towards Gore, Horror, sometimes Comedy and even Spoof) but this is one movie which was made Funny! This movie is no-logic-just-fun in a very peculiar way. But trust me, it seems intended. When you watch the scenes before the Titles, you'll be able to realize that the Director has made sure to give a preview of what kind of movie to expect. The best thing I can suggest is watch the first set of scenes (Court scene and the following one) and if you find them to be funny (especially dialogues), continue to watch it.

I was smiling throughout the movie. Even made me laugh sometimes! The dialogues and one-liners were quite good. They fit to the tone of the movie and each one strictly sticks to the character. All the songs were funny (in the same peculiar way). Even kept me humming "Inky-dinky Doo-dah Morning".

Loved it and I do recommend it to people who like a movie not because it is like what they wanted it to be but for what it is!

Note: This movie is not intended for people who hate religious criticism.
