Synopsis
Psycho Beach Party (2000) is a camp horror-comedy mashup you can watch online on iFILM. Malibu, early 1960s. Tomboy Chicklet just wants in with the local surf crowd — and becomes the first girl to ride the waves. The catch: she's sharing her head with someone far less sweet.
Whenever Chicklet snaps, a vicious alter ego takes the wheel and starts carving up sunbathers. Bodies pile up on the sand while she remembers none of it. Lauren Ambrose juggles a whole cast of personalities in one body, backed by Thomas Gibson, Buffy's Nicholas Brendon and a very young Amy Adams in an early role. Playwright Charles Busch wrote the thing and shows up in drag as the detective on the case.
Director Robert Lee King aims his spoof at both the Annette Funicello beach pictures and Hitchcock's Psycho, playing the whole murder spree for laughs. Best suited to fans of knowing trash and retro kitsch who don't want a single scene played straight. Stream Psycho Beach Party (2000) online on iFILM.
