Psycho Beach Party, Amy Adams in a Vicious Dancing Catfight

Amy Adams!?  Yes, that Amy Adams.  In a vicious catfight?  Yep...er, sort of.  But...yes. The dance-off between her and the sultry blonde Kimberly Davies at the beach luau will be unforgettable and filled with malicious intent.  One of those babes will emerge victorious. The dance-off/catfight will send you to the showers. Our feature today is a 2000 spoof of a 1950s beach/horror/surfer film.  We now look at "Psycho Beach Party," directed by Robert Lee King.

Florence (Lauren Ambrose), the perky redheaded 16 year old wants boys to be interested in her.  Now, only her bestie, Berdine (Danni Wheeler) wants to get in her pants. Desperate for boys, Florence tries to steal surfer dudes from her stuck up rival, Marvel Ann (Adams). Marvel Ann in the pink bikini will not have to worry about losing any man...to anyone...yet. Oh, Florence becomes Ann Bowman.  Ann Bowman?  Yep, Florence is schizophrenic and adopts many other personalities.  Ann is a femme fatale character right out of film noir films...and guys dig her.  The surfer king, Kanaka (Thomas Gibson) is hot for Ann but not for Florence.  Uh oh...Ann may be a psycho killer. She'll apparently slit the throat of a babe in a car at the drive-in. Then she'll take apart surfer Junior (Buddy Quaid) in the surf. Then...well, let us just say she decapitates, or slashes, or guts many a surfer dude or bikini chick.

Wait!  I haven't mentioned B movie, horror scream queen Bettina Barnes (Davies). She's sultry and befriends Florence, the surfer dudes, and bikini chicks.  She'll get into that dance-off/catfight with Marvel Ann and seduce all others. Then there is Florence's nymphomaniac mother (Beth Broderick) who keeps trying to seduce their Swedish exchange student, Lars (Matt Keeslar). Oh, one more, the sultry slut in the wheelchair, the grouchy and insulting Rhonda (Kathleen Robertson). All suspects and you will see why. As bodies get cut up, and chicks wriggle and jiggle to try to hook surfer dudes, Florence wrestles with her multiple personalities and may be the one murdering the beautiful.

Is Florence, or Ann, the psycho-killer?  Will the sultry mom of Florence succeed in seducing Lars? Will Bettina Barnes use all this drama as an inspiration for her next film role? This one is a lot of fun and the cheese and beef factors are off the charts.  See babes wriggle and jiggle.  See hunks flex their abs and grunt.  See severed limbs, innards ripped out, and heads decapitated.  For some fun, watch "Psycho Beach Party."
