Romance writer Emma (Emma Gruttadauria) has found her winter retreat on
a New England island which seems perfect for writing due to all the piece
and quiet ... that is, until she has to put up an incompetent and highly
irritating (yet somewhat attractive) handyman, David (Joshua Koopman), up
for the night due to weird weather that causes power outages and even cars
to stop cold. She's highly annoyed ... and then a naked girl wihout any
memory, Veronica (Alexandra Creteau), arrives on her doorstep, and the
more Emma tries to take care of Veronica, the more Veronica weirds her
out. Actually, it seems Veronica knows quite some secrets of the house
Emma doesn't. Emma soon thinks David wants to get into Veronica's panties,
which is at best half true though, but annoys Emma beyond believe because
she has started to like David ... Meanwhile, outside a young man, Coby
(Nick Apostolides), kills everyone in his way quite viciously, and he
zeroes in on Emma's house. Eventually, a policeman arrives at Emma's
place, and asks if he could spend the night due to the weird weather - and
Emma is glad because she figures he will help her with Veronica ... and in
the beginning, that seems to be a very sensible solution, too, because
there is an almost instant bond between the cop and Veronica ... but there
is also a problem, the cop is Coby the killer. It gradually dawns upon
Emma and David that they have to run for their lives, but they also find
out something even weirder: Coby and Veronica aren't at all from their
time but have some kind of history that ties them to a violent crime in
the very house Emma lives in from more than 50 years earlier. And this old
story doesn't exactly improve Emma and David's chances for survival ... Now
first of all, who expected Night of the Naked Dead to be a softcore
spoof of the classic Night
of the Living Dead will be disappointed on that account - and yet
this doesn't make Night of the Naked Dead a bad film necessarily,
it's actually a pretty weird and inventive supernatural mystery, on a
narrative level at least, and it features a bunch of pretty good
performances. The movie just lets itself down a bit on the directorial
level, it just seems too ... conventional, without any real quirks or
highlights and a bit low on atmosphere, too. Plus, it ends a bit too
happily and randomly considering everything that went on before. That
said, the film's still totally worth a look, it just fails to reach its
full potential.
