I have heard a lot about "Psycho Beach Party" (2000) but haven't got a chance to view it yet, as a film, how is it, worth seeing, thanks.

I LIKE IT...BUT I DON'T LOVE IT...IT WORKS FOR WHAT IT IS THOUGH.

Will give it a look at some point. Also... What is, if at all, the film's main theme and message? And is it a girl who is, what, like, the villain, the killer - in this movie?

IF I REMEMBER RIGHT THE CHICK HAS MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES AND ONE OF THEM IS THE KILLER...BASED ON REPRESSED HOMOSEXUALITY OR SOME SUCH THING...IT'S A SILLY MASHUP OF BEACK FLICKS,SLASHERS AND MELODRAMA...PARODY AND META...WORTH A WATCH...NOT WORTH DISSECTING THOUGH.

I will look into it, thanks.

Interestingly enough, two of my respected IMDb reviewers Coventry and Infofreak gave it polar opposite reviews, Infofreak thought it was awful and Coventry found it great.

THE CORRECT REVIEW IS SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THOSE TWO...AT LEAST IN MY OPINION.

It has some goofy, wacky shenanigans and some amusing dialogue. Not everything works, but I like what they were going for. 6/10 is my rating.
