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 nude 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.
