      Title Card: The motion picture that follows is a fable. In it there are many nudists but only one monster. In life, it is generally the other way around.

    weird experimental sexploitation
    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.
