Nudist Colony of the Dead

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

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'm....so torn about this movie. Just on the name alone, I knew I had to see it, but I can't honestly say that it was worth my time. On the other hand, I can tell my friends I've seen a movie that they constantly think I'm lying when I talk about it.

It's not good, not by a longshot, but it has a good-natured stupidness that keeps you watching long after you realize you should turn it off and go do something constructive--like write an IMDb review of it.

I can tell you some things I wasn't expecting: this movie being a musical, and the nudist zombies wearing a lot of clothes. I'm glad they did, though, since the Droopy old lady with the knockers down to her knees would've gotten old fast. The death scenes were so bizarre that they defy description, and by and large the most coherent comment I can form about this movie is "WTF?!" Should you see it? Umm.....depends on how much patience you have, or how much beer. There's nothing scary in this movie, and the gore is high school play worthy at best, but you will be stunned that a musical movie about undead nudists killing Christians was ever made, let alone that you're seeing it. It's for bragging rights only, I'd say, and unless you have a warped sense of humor you should avoid it. Even if you have a warped sense of humor, I think you're going to need some help getting through this, so bring some friends or some mind-altering substances.

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.
