Starring: Lauren Ambrose, Nicholas Brendon
Genre: Comedy,
Year: 2000
Format: VHS
Plot: A bunch of murders have started to happen at the beach, making everyone in the neighbourhood a suspect.
The main element is the beach blanket movies of the 1960's, but it's balanced out with the style of both campy horror-slasher films from the 1970's and older films that remind you of Vertigo and Rear Window from the Hitchcock era.
Amy Adams plays the beach siren, a role you rarely see her in which works perfectly with Nicholas Brendon's Starcat - a spoof on the character from Gidget {Moondoggie played by James Darren}
Based on a stage play from the 1980's, this movie covers all the eras.
It also throws back to the sexploitation films of the 1960's/1970's as well.
No one is normal, and when you try to pretend you are you're only fooling yourself. And any chance you have to insert a bunch of guys in Lucha-Libre masks for no real reason is cool.
