Very well executed

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

OK, so I'm not that much into these kinds of nudie short films, but I ran into this one on YouTube, and I have to say I was impressed. It's short at only about 5 minutes and silent, but it is fairly well crafted for what it was intended to be. Not sure how this thing was put together, but it looks like someone really liked and respected early horror films. In this little five minutes you see respect paid to James Whale and Tod Browning.June Palmer is fetching, of course, and Stuart Samuels has the perfect look for the "vampire". I rated this an eight only because it is so much better than it had to be for a nudie short, and the best one I've run across so far.

Nightmare at Elm Manor (1961) *** (out of 4) George Harrison Marks directed this low-budget nudie picture that lasts just five-minutes but it's quite entertaining. A woman is seen walking through the woods and she then walks into a house where she undresses. From here she encounters a strange man who appears to be a vampire. I must admit that I had never heard of NIGHTMARE ON ELM MANOR before watching the director's NAKED AS NATURE INTENDED. I searched the film and found it quite easily and I must admit that it was a good and entertaining five-minutes. The film is pure sexploitation as the woman constantly has her breasts exposed for one reason or another. She's either dressing or undressing and if not then she's running around with her top open or is in the perfect position for them to just fall out. As a sexploitation film that works quite well. As a horror movie I found the editing to be effective and it was nice getting to see a vampire as a sexual character and going after that more than just blood.

NIGHTMARE AT ELM MANOR is a fun little 5 minute short from porn purveyor George Harrison Marks. It's incredibly cheap-looking, silent, and shot in black and white, and yet it contains more atmosphere and suspense than you'd expect from what is very much a throwaway production. The storyline is expectedly simple, as a young woman arrives to spend the night at a creepy old mansion and is haunted by a weird-looking butler.Given the director's pedigree, it's no surprise that the main point of this short is to show off the ample charms of starlet June Palmer who's more than happy to strip off for the camera. She's certainly a comely presence in this low rent effort, and as a whole the sheer scale of weirdness works in its favour. It's a hoot.

This is a wonderful little 5 minute nudie/horror short directed by legendary British glamour photographer Harrison Marks .Rather than me randomly babble about him here is a brief biography.Harrison Marks, as he came to be known, first got involved in glamour photography in 1953 after he met, and started a relationship with Pamela Green (1929-2010), a photographic model. He was 27, she was 24 and together they were to transform the British glamour scene and gain world-wide recognition. They started out by producing postcard-sized black and white glamour photographs in sets of five packed in cellophane bags, which they sold through book shops and newsagents in the Soho area of London where they had established their home and studio together. These tastefully posed pin-ups quickly became popular and the business expanded rapidly.In 1957, they launched 'Kamera', their first printed publication. The 7 x 5 inch, 36 page, monthly pocketbook of nudes was an instant success.They followed Kamera with an array of similar publications and an annual, 13 page colour calendar. Their success grew, and at the end of the fifties they ventured into home movie production featuring their most popular models, and went on to make their first feature film, 'Naked as Nature Intended', which played to packed houses at a West End cinema in 1960 before being released nationally and then internationally. The Marks-Green partnership came to an end in the mid-sixties, but Harrison Marks carried on producing adult entertainment until he died in 1997, spanning a remarkable forty-five years.The film has a Marks favourite in the lead – the beautiful starlet June Palmer who arrives a manor house and after settling for the night but after waking in the night she (for our entertainment) takes to exploring the house whilst in the nude/semi nude .She is then frightened by a Dracula inspired creep ( I believe again played by a Marks favourite Stuart Samuels ) who follows her around the house scaring the wobblers off her .A lovely piece of 1960's nostalgia , filmed on 8mm in black and white and completely silent .But saying this there is a version on You Tube that has a background musical score , so not sure if mine is meant to be silent or not ? But I do prefer the silent version – so just put it on mute ;) .Really most of Mark's work was just an excuse to get well endowed beautiful dark haired women to get naked – and fair play to the man he did achieve this remarkably well .Really worth checking out ( on you tube ) you won't be disappointed . And try to check out some of his other work especially from the 1960s .A top heavy fabulous 8/10TheCorpseGrinder blog
