Movie Review by Zara 
September 16th, 2009

Another movie which spoofed films that were released during the swinging whatever times, PSYCHO BEACH PARTY, also starring Eric McCormack, is a much better choice if you're looking for something weird and silly and spoofy. I was kinda hoping that because he had such a knack for pulling off that vibe in that movie that it would translate over to this one. Sadly, that was not the case.
Saddled by a lot of mostly small named actors (save for Robert Patrick and Dan Lauria best known as the great dad in "The Wonder Years), the people in the film other than those two and McCormack didn't seem to be in on the joke of the film. The movie isn't bad enough to be considered good because it's so bad. And it's not good because it's not clever and just doesn't deliver what movies it is spoofing normally delivered unintentionally.
If you're going into a film to make fun of the genre on purpose, at least make the movie cohesive. This bounces around, making too much time with unimportant characters and has a strange opening sequence in which we're supposed to believe that the movie we're going to see is the movie that was destroyed back in the day. It just doesn't work. I will give the film credit because McCormack does manage to do what he can with the role (Lauria looks annoyed and Patrick just comes off creepy - he did a better tongue in cheek horrorish flick turn in THE FACULTY than he does in this) but not much else.
