The Beach Girls and the Monster
“Go! Go! Go! The Coolest Monster Shindig of Chicks and Chills!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 65, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
Beach-party relaxation keeps being interrupted by a monster and a family argument. This short surf-and-scares oddity cannot decide whether to investigate the killings or return to the seaside atmosphere. The creature business and clumsy rear projection make a useful talking point between interruptions.
