“FUN, FUN, FUN! Psycho Beach Party discovers a post-Freudian nightmare world of repressed violence and kinky sex bursting to get out.” – Stephen Holden, The New York Times
“Blend a 50’s psychodrama, a 60’s beach movie and a 70’s slasher film. Result: Psycho Beach Party, a campy smoothie.” – Mademoiselle
FACETS Film Ed Dept Trivia is back with our classic brand of infotainment quiz show fun, followed up by an after-trivia screening of Robert Lee King’s campy Hollywood satire, Psycho Beach Party (2000).
Based on Charles Busch’s hilarious long-running stage play, Psycho Beach Party is a wickedly fun satire of Hollywood movie genres. Chicklet (Lauren Ambrose, Can’t Hardly Wait, HBO’s Six Feet Under), a wannabe surf-girl with a split personality, becomes the primary suspect after a string of humorously gruesome murders terrifies the teen set. When the clues take her to the beach, the fun and suspense begin.
At the beach, Chicklet crosses paths with burnt-out surf guru Kanaka (Thomas Gibson, Dharma & Greg), dreamy surfboy Starcat (Nicholas Brendon, Buffy The Vampire Slayer), and stylish homicide detective Monica Stark (Charles Busch, HBO’s OZ). Psycho Beach Party also stars Matt Keeslar (Scream 3), Beth Broderick (Sabrina The Teenage Witch), Kimberley Davies (The Next Best Thing), Amy Adams (Drop Dead Gorgeous, The Master, American Hustle) And Kathleen Robertson (Scary Movie II).
Robert Lee King, USA, 2000, 95 mins.
