Nice effects though.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I saw this film while working at the Carolina Theatre in Durham, NC, it was a feature film of the Nevermore Film Festival. I caught about 30 minutes of the film before having to return to work but was instantly hooked. My first thought was "how in the hell did they get Jane Seymour", I was intrigued at this point but not hooked. That didn't happen until I saw Buster, and if you're an Arrested Development fan than you know who Buster is. The acting was very impressive and each character had such a rich history. I loved the various animated clips spread through-out...well...I love this film. My friends are getting annoyed at how much I keep talking about this film and about how awesome it is and I think my wife is about to turn cannibal on me because I keep singing the Quincy song (but def. goats milk). If you get the chance, see this film.

I saw this movie during it's midnight premiere of the LA FILM FESTIVAL. I prepared myself to see a bad movie full of guts and gore, but instead witnessed a clever and engaging film. I loved it!! The characters were well developed and highly entertaining and surprisingly, the cast was actually talented. The story was unlike anything I had seen before(something that Hollywood should try!)and the humor was brilliantly witty! This film has everything you could ask for...plot, character, comedy and horror...and it delivers. Give the film a chance and you won't be disappointed (but don't give it only 15mins and turn it off because it's different). This is the type of film that is bound to pave the way to new and creative film-making.

I caught the premiere of "The Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell" on Friday night as part of the L.A. Film festival and was highly entertained. This film is a breath of fresh air with a truly original vision at a time when the majority of movies labeled as 'independent' have begun to fall into the same bloated budget, formulaic naval-gazing as their studio-backed counterparts. Beach Party feels like the next generation of the Bruce Campbell style of horror/comedies that have all but disappeared in the wake of special-effects-heavy shock and gore fests. Not quite a horror but not quite a comedy, Beach Party's characters are offbeat and the story line is so unique that it comes across more like a cult film in the making. This film is an intelligent, eye-catching and campy alternative to the cookie-cutter action flicks that flood the screens this time of year. It's a fun ride and, judging by the packed house and the crowd's reaction at the premiere, this film has successfully addressed an audience that has long been overlooked by the studios.

I also attended the midnight screening at the LA Film Festival on Friday, June 23, 2006. I liked the film and got the impression that most everyone else did as well.For a midnight showing, I was impressed that nearly every seat was filled. There was also more audience participation than I'm accustomed to, for the audience cheered when the title appeared, laughed and clapped during the film, and stayed for the credits. More so, about three-quarters stayed to learn more about the film during the Q&A that followed -- an impressive audience at 2:30 a.m.I've never seen a movie quite like this one. It had a quick pace, over-the-top violence and gore, a sarcastic wit, and at least a dozen characters. It's one of those films you wish you could see again, in not to simply catch and appreciate all of its humor.
