Spoof of 1960's Beach Party/Gidget surfing movies mixed with slasher horror films. A not-so-innocent girl in 1960's Malibu becomes the first girl surfer at Malibu Beach, only she suffers from dissociative identity disorder and occasionally her alter ego, a sexually aggressive, foul-speaking girl, comes out. During her "episodes" several beach goers are found murdered.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Saddled with both a script and direction that never comes near the wit or cleverness in Busch's own performance.

It definitively skewers the false innocence of American pop culture on the eve of the countercultural deluge.

Good belly laughs amid lower-key giddiness.

rotten:
Awkward combination of garish set decoration and muffled humor.

It's too much filmed theater to come alive fully on the screen.
