Psycho Beach Party

Due to a hard drive meltdown I've lost this review. It will be rewritten soon.

Psycho Beach Party trailer

Psycho Beach Party DVD

"...This is a good one for when you are in one of THOSE moods. The plot is cheesy serial killer whodunnit mixed with b-movie melodrama and the results are really funny.

Lauren Ambrose is a riot as the outsider beachy Gidget character - with multiple personalities no less. The voices she does combined with the over-the-top dialogue make her "crazy" scenes those stop-and-go-back moments becaue you don't want to miss a line. Charles Busch is a hoot as the "female" detective with a past and the other supporting actors/characters round out the insanity.

Good, silly fun..." Amazon reviewer Donmac ButchM

Psycho Beach Party soundtrack

 "...Great soundtrack to a great movie. Lots of good surf/instrumental rock music..." Amazon reviewer Kurt Rosenbaum

Psycho Beach Party screenplay

"...Charles Busch is renowned for weaving popular culture, wicked camp humor, and biting social satire into an unusual and uproarious theatrical signature that has earned him the Outer Critics' John Gassner Award for Playwrighting and a Drama Desk Award for Best Play nomination. Of his latest play, The New York Times has written, "Uproarious ... wall-to-wall laughs..." Amazon blurb
