The Horror of Party Beach

Poster tagline: WE WILL NOT PERMIT YOU TO SEE THESE SHOCKERS UNLESS YOU ARE TO RELEASE THIS THEATRE OF ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEATH BY FRIGHT!!! The creators' somewhat exaggerated promise that this is the first pure horror musical is fulfilled only by the first half. It will be most enjoyed by viewers who love the frequent sight of girls in bikinis and oldie music in the style of the Beach Boys. The rest of the film is filled with frequent attacks by funny monsters (a kind of vague cross between chicken and fish), especially in the dark, when the most frequent victims are exclusively women, and there are such treats as a mass attack on a girls' dormitory, etc. But all in all, aside from dumb dialogue like: “Do you believe that kissing is unhealthy?” - “I don't know. I've never been...” - “You've never been kissed?” - “No, I've never been sick,” I was expecting something much worse. It can’t have been cheap. Everything was shot on location, the music is good and the frequent appearance of the monsters show prevented this entertaining B-movie to be awful. (01.04.2012)
