Psycho Beach Party
Directed by Robert Lee King
De jonge Chicklet is op het eerste gezicht een heel normaal Amerikaans meisje. Tot ieders verbazing heeft ze echter een gespleten persoonlijkheid, die haar in een dominante seksgodin doet veranderen. Als er in de plaatselijke drive-in een meisje vermoord wordt, is Chicklet natuurlijk de eerste verdachte. Gelukkig kan ze rekenen op haar surfer-vrienden en de b-film queen Bettina Barnes, die het voor haar opnemen.

Psycho Beach Party Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin Ward14 juli 2025This has a crazy cast for an early 2000’s spoof movie. Lauren Ambrose, Amy Adams, Thomas Gibson and they’re all wonderfully campy in this send up of B-movies/Surfer movies. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much else that worked for me. Much of the humor didn’t really land and most of the kills occur off screen. That means far too little blood and kills for my slasher sensibilities.
- Jacob O’Neal16 juni 2025This movie is so weird and funny that I can’t help but love it in the same way I love Reefer Madness with Kristen Bell or Chillerama’s second story, “The Curse Of The Were-Bear”. It had a great cast of 90’s TV stars and one co-star that went on to be an Oscar winner (Amy Adams won an Oscar right? I stopped caring when this movie wasn’t nominated 🤣). The movie is a playful send up of the beach movies of the 50’s and 60’s that had Sally Field or Frankie Avalon. It was about a girl who is a virgin in 1962. She decides she wants to learn to surf. Only one problem: she has multiple personalities and the surfers are being murdered. Is she the culprit? Is it her mom, the closeted gay surfers, Xander from Buffy, the drag queen police captain or maybe Kanaka, the world’s number one surfer? The movie is filled with those kitschy little moments you’d find in the beach movies of the era. They did well with embracing the time and style of those films while playing g with themes the old movie would never have dreamed. It was like if John Waters made a surf movie if filtered through his Cry-Baby/Hairspray era. The jokes are wry and funny. The dancing scenes are fun. I mean, who can resist dancing to a band made of luchador wrestlers for no reason? I will say that this film is not for everyone. I get that. But if you’re a fan of the odd and offbeat, you’d dig this groovy bit of nostalgia.
- Callum12 april 2025This wasn't anything like i was expecting. Light hearted fun but not exactly Shakespeare. Fairly predictable with some big names, or names going on to be big later. Well worth the watch
