    Is it Good? No. But it Deserves a Place in Cultdom

    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.

    hmmm

    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

    Grab some beer and invite your friends!

    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!"

    Unclothed and undead.

    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.

    Kill all the zealots!

    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.

    • Trivia
      In his introduction to the remastered version, director Mark Pirro stated he was very unhappy with the low light levels on many of the shots. In the closing credits, several famous blind and one-eyed people are included in phony photography credits. He even included a credit for the camera operators' alleged seeing-eye dog.

      Reverend Ritz: Remember, the children can't praise the Lord if they've got genitals in their mouths.

    • Alternate versions
      In 2007, writer/director Mark Pirro assembled a new cut of the movie for DVD. In addition to being remastered and re-formatted in a widescreen ratio, this version substitutes rehearsal footage that was shot on video for many scenes and shots that were poorly lit. The new footage is most abundant and noticeable during the campfire scene.
