Mutants of Nature Cove

Not sure why I watched the entire movie here, it started off with the most terrible green screen beach effect you've ever witnessed. The plot wasnt much better - a bunch of people of varying ages spend a day on a clothing optional beach unfortunately populated by the mutants of the title whose bite causes them to hallucinate. We have a crude attempt at political commentary when it is suggested the creatures are created by nuclear waste, or sea plastic pollution, or something. There's also a very weird obsession with face masks which comes off as curiously outdated, much like the creature effects. The impression that the cast were all acting individually and the scenes spliced together afterwards really make this feel like a lockdown project for someone.

Overall though, something worked here and I dont know what it was. Maybe it's just the confidence of the cast who are all naked for 99% of the movie without it feeling sexual in even the smallest way. Not just the girls either, everyones naked from the skinny teens to the chubby middle aged guys. Maybe it's just the absurdity of trying to figure out who the hell this film was supposed to appeal to.

5/10 worth a watch just don't expect too much.

In an era dominated by superficiality and pretense, Mutants of Nature Cove emerges as a beacon of authenticity and human connection. Directed by visionary filmmaker Beau Mann, this daring exploration into the essence of humanity through nudity transcends mere cinematic boundaries, delivering a profound and thought-provoking experience.

From the opening frames, Mutants Of nature Cove challenges societal norms and invites viewers on an introspective journey. The decision to portray nudity not as a mere spectacle but as a raw expression of human vulnerability and liberation is bold yet remarkably effective. Each scene, meticulously crafted, unveils layers of emotion and truth, weaving together a tapestry of stories that celebrate the diversity of human experience.

This movie appears to have been shot with a green screen with a budget of about $12.46. There are several groups of people talking to each other in this movie, but they don't appear to even be in the same room. It's a beach movie, for crying out loud! There's no beach, just a fake background with some sand in the foreground. The acting, plot, and camera work are so amateurish, It's really hard to watch, even with all the nudity. The audio sounds as if it were recorded in someone's garage. It has literally the most fake special effects I ever saw.

Although, if you want to see nudity, this is the movie. Tons of male and female full frontal nudity with literally no other redeeming value.

The nudity isn't sexual.

The actors, we're amazing.

They weren't hung up on being naked, they just acted.

The CGI was so bad, but weirdly didn't care. I actually cared more , when the CGI was bad in the mummy .

Watched the whole movie, I actually wanted to see the end.

I'm guessing low budget, but ten out of ten for the actors, the cameramen, the lighting, the scriptwriter, and the director.

To the director, make another, change the location , if sharknado can do 80 sequels so can you.

This movie is better, zombies at nature cove, sand piranhas at nature's cove, Dracula at nature's cove, make Dracula naked. Apart from teeth and cape.

I hope you make more, and try and use the same cast.

This is a very strange movie. It's essentially a low-budget 1960s beach picture, but with a completely nude cast.

Yes, completely nude. Every inch of every actor in this movie is on full display for almost the entire running time. But it's done in a strangely innocent way. No one makes comments or leers, the nudity is just kind of present. Naked strangers casually meet and chat in a completely non-sexual manner, and at some point you kind of get desensitized to it all.

The naked people vary from attractive models (most of the women) to old, chubby dudes (actual nudists?)

The movie itself is shot almost entirely on green screen. It's like 300, but if they had no money or visual style. The camera is basically completely locked down, and the compositing is about the worst you've ever seen. The "beach" backgrounds often look like old PC screensavers. Your local TV weather broadcast looks better than this.

Interestingly, it seems that a lot of the people were photographed separately and then edited together. Makes for very awkward dialogue scenes, with long pauses and actors looking in the wrong direction.

So, is this some kind of pro-nudist, body positivity movie? Not really.

The actual "plot" is that the titular mutants live on this beach (thanks to pollution or something), and they like to bite people on the ass. When you get bitten, you start having hallucinations, and there's also a crazy witch lady screaming incantations into the sky...

Strange stuff. Some basic sci-fi/horror elements and gags. What little blood and gore there is comes off very tame due to the amateur production. The "mutants" look like rejects from an episode of Gumby, they have a very "claymation" quality to them. No one is going to scared during this movie.

Strangest of all, they tried to pad out the wide shots of the "beach" with completely CGI people in the background. But these aren't particularly good graphics, it looks like the people from a Barbie video game that came out 20 years ago.

All that said...this movie has something going for it. It's so strange and aloof that it almost transcends the low budget. I am still thinking about it a day later. For $5, this will be one I plan to revisit in the future.

I'd love to see some behind the scenes stuff in this one, just to find out what the hell they were thinking!

All in all, it's a strange, kind of fun 90 minutes with a ton of full frontal nudity. I can see this being a hit in college dorms if nothing else, it lends itself to drinking games and the like.
