Vinegar Syndrome had a great overstock sale during the recent Labor Day weekend. If you don't know who they are, definitely check out their website. This was one of several items I picked up during that sale. Mostly based upon the intriguing bluray slipcase art. (The movie and it's double-feature counterpart on the disk, HONEYMOON OF TERROR, are both available streaming on Tubi at the moment.) The bluray and streaming versions have very good remastered picture quality, all things considered. There's not too much to the plot here. One blonde female nudist (Sally Parfait) convinces her room mate to give the practice a try and go with her to Camp Sunshine for the weekend. The blonde female's day job is as a tech involved in lab animal testing. She has an accident in the lab and the doctor irresponsibly disposes the waste in a river. Somehow it makes it's way down to the Camp Sunshine simpleton groundskeeper. Antics ensure. The part of the title "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Nature" refers to a bit involving some paramilitary responders who are more akin to Classic Doctor Who's Unit. While this is supposed to allude to Kubrick's 'Dr. Strangelove', it's more similar to Kubrick's first experimental film 'Fear and Desire'. When they incorporated stock WW2 soldier footage, LOL. The movie tends to linger and dodder a bit with wistfully edited long takes, especially during Camp Sunshine frolicking * scenes. Reminds me ab it of 'The Running Jumping & Standing Still Film', an early Oscar nominated short film by 'A Hard Day's Night' and 'Superman II' director Richard Lester. Funny enough RJ&SSF was co-directed by Peter Sellers for another Strangelove connection. If you can handle a basic 60s Sexploitation film, you can handle this. Otherwise steer clear. Sidenote: The brunette room mate who played a model in the movie (Deborah Spray) was 60s girl-next-door hot.

A "nurse," who dresses up as a nurse, goes to her job at a hospital, and... gives water to lab rats(?), is a nudist, and tries to coax her model roommate (who's a chain smoker, which is real appealing) into the nudist lifestyle. After a bout with bad vibes, a broken mirror, and rats being gently tossed in her direction after they're exposed to some toxic chemical, they both head out to "Camp Sunshine," a nudist retreat. Oh boy. I did learn one thing from this movie. Nudists are really boring, and when they TALK about the lifestyle, it makes you want to pull your hair out. So, there's plenty of T&A to be found here (along with a bunch of convenient obstructions when it comes to privates), but man oh man, it is done purely in the name of leisure. Yeah, what is done of the malicious chemical? A really dumb doctor crosses about 8 lanes of NYC traffic, and hurls the jar into the Hudson. Then a really dumb fisherman who fishes for trash, collects it, puts it in a bucket, and teeters it on his open tailgate throughout the countryside. As if that wasn't enough, he goes fishing again, teeters the jar on the edge of a bridge, and, well, you get it. So the owner of Camp Sunshine's really dumb brother (actually, he's "slow") who gardens there, drinks the dirty stream water. And there you have the titular (and nearly harmless, though he carries an axe) "Monster." The model agrees to "loosen up" and go topless, and once her sleazy cameraman learns she and her roommate are nudists, immediately leeches onto them. Only they drive out to Camp Sunshine to find it deserted, but that doesn't stop anyone from stripping (and breaking out an autoharp). They unknowingly let the gardner loose, and he wanders around, steps in a bear trap. The owner shows up, explains what happened, and discovers an open door. Do they leave? No, they have a topless birthday party. So the monster grazes one of the girls with his axe, the doctor back home parachutes in with the antidote, an assortment of war movie public domain footage, all filmed at night, appears, and the photographer breaks out a whole arsenal of weapons he had on hand! All the while, the ladies run around aimlessly, topless, urging the cavalry and civil war reenactors to stop shooting! Was this supposed to be a comedy? I have to assume the entire final act was a joke, it is so far OTT. What does everyone do after they discover the hapless monster was blown to bits? I'll let you guess. I knew I was in trouble during the opening credits, where it's made abundantly clear, no one wants their name associated with this turkey. Even the guy who did titles had a pseudonym! It's noted at the bottom of this page that the people behind this movie did it as a lark. That would explain the goofiness, but it's no excuse for bad moviemaking.

There's nothing wrong, per se, with mixing the nudist film with another genre, for example the horror or science fiction picture. The result can be sometimes endearing - check out the oddity HOUSE ON BARE MOUNTAIN, for example, which was hardly great but surprisingly memorable at times, or the similar NUDE ON THE MOON. Sadly, THE MONSTER OF CAMP SUNSHINE promises plenty but delivers very little thanks to the absolutely pitiful writing and production values. The film is about a couple of friends who decide to go to a nudist camp for a break, only to discover that a hideous mutant man is terrorising the locals after drinking some toxic substance from the local river. The back story to the dumping of this sludge is quite ridiculous and long-winded to boot; nothing really happens until towards the end of this picture. The monster attacks are limited close-ups of a guy wearing tacky make-up and there's some stock army footage thrown in in a bid to make us think that something's going on. There's a fair bit of nudity around the middle of the picture including a couple of lengthy, padded moments of women undressing. Otherwise the * scenes are shot from afar and give the impression that the cameraman was hiding in the bushes and filming away. Needless to say the acting is very bad as are the production values, with the shadow of the cameraman repeatedly interrupting the proceedings. Only bad film connoisseurs will find favour with this one.

This qualifies as "so bad, its good". The 1960s doco sound track, the strategically placed items of girl and boy bits ... so seminal, Blake Edwards must have been influenced by it for A Shot in the Dark! Hilarious... 75 minutes well spent.

Camp Sunshine is a nudist spot. A group of models are planning to vacation there. Unbeknownst to them, there is a monster lurking there which was created when the groundskeeper drinks water contaminated by a scientist's experiment. First this is a sexploitation. At the beginning, the movie promises nudity and it delivers. Second, it's bad. The acting is bad. The production is poor. The mishmash of ideas is wrong-headed. Third, it's a monster movie but it's poorly executed. It's almost made as a parody or camp. The monster looks bad. Lastly, it tries to be a comedy. From the silent picture motif to the title to some bizarre scenes, this tries to be funny. Of course, non of it is actually funny but it is easy to make fun of it. Here's the deal. This is a bad movie but it is still interesting at times. There is one nice picturesque scene with the Empire State Building in the background. This is bad but I've seen worst.

Laborious nutie cutie with false advertising claiming this is a creature feature. Its appearance as a comic satire using Dr. Strangelove as a model fails miserably because talent has to be involved in order to pull it off. Even opening credits similar to Monty Python using clipped items from magazines and newspapers as comic devices do nothing to tickle the funnybone. What you have is a basic 15 minute short padded unmercifully to over 60+ minutes. It looks like the film was shot mostly without sound, dubbed voices added to the characters later. Two New York City women, one a model, the other a nurse, decide to spend a couple weekends at Camp Sunshine, a nudist camp for the uninhibited. A half-wit brother of a friend of the nurse's drinks from a creek carrying chemicals released from a jar tossed in the ocean by a scientist whose experiments on animals turned them into rabid creatures. The half-wit's deranged behavior is responsible for the closure of the camp but the two New York City ladies aren't aware, travel to Camp Sunshine, and face the danger of being axed to death when the wacko breaks free from his chains. The military is called in (footage from a D-Day type war scenario is spliced in poorly for supposed humorous effects), plus one of the male members who joined the nurse and model, in undies, hurls grenades and fires a pistol at the human beast, showing he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Basically, the "Monster at Camp Sunshine" is about the boring lives of two women in the big city and the mundane activities of people at a nudist camp. Skip it if you are against being bored into unconsciousness. Sometimes narrated by the model character of the film, with title cards you would see in a silent film trying to add laughs that never come.

Obese gardener Hugo (tubby Harrison Pebbles, who looks like an unhinged Moe Howard) drinks from a stream that's been contaminated with a mysterious chemical which makes him go dangerously wacko. The axe-wielding Hugo proceeds to terrorize a nudist camp in upstate New Yrok. Yep, that's basically it for the slight'n'silly plot, but what this sublimely ridiculous affair lacks in substance it more than compensates for in sheer inanity and absurdity. For starters, writer/director Ferenc Leroget pokes merry fun at silent movies of yore complete with title cards and jaunty music which keeps things bubbling along. Moreover, the dialogue was obviously dubbed in post-production; this only heightens the overall surreal vibe given off by this picture. Lastly, the hysterical climax with the police and the army attacking Hugo makes generous use of blatant World War II D-Day stock footage. The sharp black and white cinematography rates as another plus. Of course, we also get a bevy of nice-looking ladies parading about in their birthday suits: Fetching slim brunette Deborah Spray and slender blonde fox Sally Parfait in particular are most delectable sights to behold wearing nothing but their smiles. Good dippy fun.
