Psycho Beach Party (2000)

"Psycho Beach Party" is a campy slasher spoof that mashes 1960s beach-blanket movies with gruesome murder mystery, playing the whole thing for deadpan laughs rather than scares. Long before her Oscar nominations, Amy Adams turns up in the cast, part of a young ensemble that also includes Lauren Ambrose and Danni Wheeler navigating the film's surf, sand and body count. The site carries 3 scenes pulled from the film, with skin and sex appeal woven into its retro send-up tone. Fans looking for early glimpses of Adams before she went mainstream will find this cult oddity worth a look.
