Watch Psycho Beach Party For Free

best movie i've ever seen.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I watched this movie by sheer accident one night it was playing on a pay channel, and since then it's showings have become an "Oscar-night" type event that my friends and I eagerly await with snacks, dimmed light, and a child-like glee that so few movies garner. This is usually followed by light discussion on the elements of the film that capture us, as well as things we didn't catch during the previous few viewings.If only every director/writer/crew/actors could be so passionate about the material in the movies they create, then we would not have to sit through the garbage that so many movies are these days... more so big budget ones.Every scene in this movie is polished and perfectly executed, while staying true to it's satirical tone that both pokes fun at those 60's style beach slasher films and also conveys respect for them at the same time. I think the film works so well because it stays true to itself right to the visceral end. There also seems to be a duality with most of the film... and the characters are stereotypical on the outside, but convey depth and sincerity.This movie is a satisfying treat indeed.

This is one of my all time favorite movies! I only bought it yesterday and i have already seen it six times! It is hysterical and very fun! The plot revolves around a teenage beach bunny named Florence (Lauren Ambrose of TV's 'Six Feet Under') who has multiple personality disorder. She is sort of a combination of Gidget and Norman Bates! Anyway her friends start getting bumped off and she does not know whether or not her alternate personality Ann Bowman may actually be the killer. She is excellent, very funny, and a very talented and promising actress. Many other talented actors stand out such as the ditsy b-movie bombshell, the two gay surfer guys, the mean spirited cripple girl, and Florence's mother who is sort of June Cleaver after drinking too much vodka. From the high energy opening credits, to the unexpected ending it is non stop fun. (even the opening credits are entertaining!) Sure the surfing scenes are lame, but that adds to the movie's campiness. Nicholas Brendan (TV's 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer') did not stand out a whole lot but he did well with what he was given. One scene that is particularly fun is the 'Dance Fight'(You just gotta see it). The entire cast does a great job! Very original, very campy, and overall just very entertaining! Highly recommended!

This has a partial "spoiler". Practically the only thing I have against this movie is its "second" ending. I know that a false ending, followed by another one, is a horror film cliché, so this horror "spoof" had a reason for imitating that, but my problem with it is this- the rest of the movie was a comedy, and in some ways not all that DARK a comedy, in spite of the murders, because it's such a farcical one. But that second ending seems JUST PLAIN DARK, which doesn't go with the rest. Maybe that was the intention, I don't know, but I still don't care for it. Apart from that, I think it's better than most parodies I've ever seen, whether of horror movies, beach movies or anything else. For one thing, it's somehow less "self-conscious" (if that's the term I'm looking for), than so many horror comedies, let alone ones set in other decades. The writers had to really know those Gidget stories, and to some degree that other famous set of beach movies (the Avalon and Funicello ones). And they even worked other movies into it, like "Marnie" (which isn't little-known, but isn't a hugely famous Hitchcock film, I think). But one of the things I like about it is something that it DIDN'T do. It seems like almost every "period" kind of story I see (regardless of the decade it's set in), overdoes those reminders of which decade it is, like the songs and the topical talk and so on. This is certainly true (to me) of most of those ones set in the early ' 60s. But this over-the-top comedy - a combination Gidget movie and mad killer movie - somehow decided to go very EASY on that. About the most obvious example is the mother of "Chicklet" (played by Beth Broderick). She's played as a comical "early ' 60s mom", but with just a LITTLE BIT of exaggeration. But in so many comedies that are supposed to be more down-to-earth than this one, and for that matter, in so many dramas (with that same kind of character), that kind of thing is laid on pretty heavily. And another thing is that the handful of songs were written for the movie itself, instead of how it's usually done with a "period" one, of any kind. And of course, practically the most "underplayed" thing about it was Charles Busch as the policewoman. Anyway, apart from the one obvious complaint, I think it's a great one. I've always been hugely attached to beach movies, but whether you love them or hate them, there's equal reason to watch Psycho Beach Party.

So with an awful title like "Psycho Beach Party" you'd think that this was yet another mindless sexed-up teen slasher flick, right?In fact this movie is a satirical send-up of many classic movies from the 50's, 60's, and 70's and plays upon all those things we suspect lurk beneath the surface.The movie uses the original "Gidget" film as its starting ground, and really just for their take on that alone it's a hoot. Along the way the director cleverly, if not campily, weaves in references to a wide variety of films including Hitchcock classics like "Marnie." The serial killer in question? (AND THIS IS NOT A SPOILER) Someone who goes after all those who do not fit the perfect cookie-cutter standard of the 1950's. The high price of non-conformity indeed.Basically, if you've watched a lot of old movies - you'll catch the references and enjoy this clever, campy satire to the fullest extent. If you're without the 101 on classics, you'll probably be a little confused but at the very least you can enjoy the wry social commentary.
