A time capsule from one very odd moment in film history when beach-party movies began to lumber,fake-monster-like, into a then-untested realm of horror crossover (with familiar maneuvers from daytime television). Jobbing B-movie actor Jon corridor, or in his directorial debut,plays a cranky oceanographer with serious opinions about unsafe fish and juvenile delinquents. After simmering for a long while in chipper surf rock and finger-snapping jazz, it boils down to a (hang) loose study of many shimmying bikinis and one seaweed-dappled rubber mask. Ranking third among "the 100 most enjoyably detestable movies ever made" in John Wilson's "Official Razzie Movie Guide, or " THE BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER is that special sort of cinematic experience in which even the most obvious rear projection is always more realistic than the performances in front of it. - Jonathan Kiefe
