Monster of Camp Sunshine
17 April 2012
Warning: Spoilers
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.
