Psycho Beach Party
2001.07.18, 20:00

Florence Forest is a naive, 16-year old wanna-be surfer chick with a secret: whenever she sees a spinning object, she becomes alter ego Ann Bowman the S&M Queen. Unfortunately for Florence, Ann's appearance always coincides with the next episode of a series of mysterious beachside murders, and no one knows what the killer's motive is, or who the next victim will be. But never fear, the LA Sheriff Department's first drag queen homicide detective, Monica Stark, is on the case... Sun, sand and S&M set to a surfbilly soundtrack, Psycho Beach Party kicks off this year's TLGFF with a dose of high-camp horror. This adaptation of the off-Broadway hit is a melange of movie genres from the fifties, sixties and seventies, and casts Thomas Gibson (Greg Montgomery in Dharma and Greg) in the role of Kanaka the surfer. Sometimes suspenseful, rather nonsensical and always crazy, this special premiere of Psycho Beach Party, complete with guest appearances by Simone Fukayuki and a glamorous drag entourage, is simply essential viewing this summer.
