“Fun, fun, fun! Psycho Beach Party discovers a post-Freudian nightmare world of repressed violence and kinky sex bursting to get out” – The New York Times
“Not since Rocky Horror has the film world produced such a vibrant farce of teen angst, violence, and sexual deviance” – FilmCritic.com
“A guaranteed howl is delivered in Psycho Beach Party, [writer] Charles Busch's uber-camp combo of two of the schlockiest of movie genres: B-horror and teen beach party!” – Film Journal international
From screenwriter Charles Busch comes this audaciously funny whodunit and psycho-thriller parody set on the sun-drenched beaches of ‘60s Malibu. When pouty-lipped misfit Chicklet, (Lauren Ambrose, Six Feet Under) finally makes her way into the cool crowd, she begins having insanely bizarre blackouts. At precisely the same time, all of her beefcake surfer pals mysteriously drop like flies and she quickly becomes the chief suspect. A madcap romp filled with nostalgia, a wannabe surf babe with a split personality, oh, and a few severed body parts.
Starring Amy Adams (Enchanted, Charlie Wilson’s War), Nicholas Brendon (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), ‘90s pin-up Kimberley Davies and screenwriter Busch as a cross-dressing cop, PSYCHO BEACH PARTY is a cult classic guaranteed to give viewers the ultimate thrill this summer.
