Psycho Beach Party is a satirical look at ’60s beach movies and Hitchcock psycho-thrillers. We follow Chicklet, a teenage girl, who dreams of being a surfer. She has difficulty finding the opportunity to surf—not just because she is a girl, but also because her multiple personality disorder causes her to become her alter ego, Ann Bowman, a femme fatale dominatrix who has her eyes set on world domination. Can Chicklet’s wacky group of friends ensure that they still have the most radical endless summer?!
