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.

A campy, low budget production with catchy tunes that will have you humming them for days. (Just don't be caught singing "Kill Kill Kill the Zealots" at work.) If you've enjoyed "Dead and Breakfast", you'll have a great time with "Nudist Colony of the Dead". The songs are better and there are more of them. It's truly a musical horror comedy. (Well, we may have to question the horror part - very little blood and guts and no good slashing at all.) Despite the title, don't expect full nudity or even much partial nudity. And there's NO sex.

If you're easily offended or a Born Again Christian, don't get this movie. There are no scared cows in Mark Pirro's world and nearly everyone gets zinged at some point. Let there be no doubt, "bible thumpers" are certainly taken to task (and taken apart as one would expect in any horror movie). It is a social commentary. Pirro uses humor and silliness to push his point home. That said, it doesn't take away from the entertainment value of the film.

I got this thinking it would be some sort of a soft porn horror. but, its not. I really don't see the point of this movie. mabe just to offend as many people as possible. christans, jews, gays, rednecks, black people, religous people, and if that s not enough theres the breif nudity. the cover makes it look like its just full of it, oh well. bad movies are great it makes me relized that just about anyone can write anything and people will pay to make it. the singing is a nice little added feature, its the only thing worse than the dialouge

This film has always stayed with me, but after having just seen the trailer (er... music video) at movieflix.com, I had to write about it.

I found this and thought it was gonna be an '90s soft-core musical, along the lines of "Beach Blanket Bango," "Cinderella" (1977) and "Cinderella 2000." While the three of those are also party movies, this one falls into another category entirely -- namely the Mark Pirro category. With insane films like "Curse of the Queerwolf," "Buford's Beach Bunnies," and the more mainstream "My Mom's a Werewolf" (which he scripted), Pirro has a style all his own. I'm sort of scared of the other trailer I just saw for his newest film, "Rectuma."

As was pointed out before, it's not gory enough to be horror; not "nudist" enough to be pornographic; not funny enough to be a true comedy. It's a film that was probably fun to make, and it was made to be made fun of. It's brash, offensive and politically incorrect (moreso than the hilariously offensive "Queerwolf")... and it's filled with bad dialog/acting, crazy HALF-naked zombies and songs that you can't get out of your head, no matter how hard you try.

It's not "Citizen Kane," but it is what it is -- and for what it is, I give it a 10. Grab some beer, pop some popcorn and invite all your friends to laugh and sing along with the zombies from the "Nudist Colony of the Dead!"

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.
