I like this movie. The premise is sort of like what if the first slasher film had been made by the production crew who made the Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello movies. Lauren Ambrose is made up to look like Gidget as she plays a character with a split personality. As people start getting killed, she wonders if she is doing them. A drag queen of a sheriff is played for laughs but at least he/she takes his/her job seriously. Beth Broderick who plays Zelda from "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" also stars as Lauren's mother. Kimberly Davies is a Marilyn Monroe-like actress on vacation staying in of all places a haunted house that even has a role in the murder mystery. The opener even has her in a dreadful "Attack of the Fifty Foot" spoof. Kathleen Richardson from "Scary Movie 2" also stars. Filled with all sorts of Gidget and surfer movie references, this is one film that horror fans and fans of surfer movies can really get together on !
