How fitting is it that now, twenty years after they made that film, they're still making movies and have come full circle by releasing Splatter Beach on the very same label? This one, however, is a bit of a different breed from their first film: instead of being a mindless splatter flick (pardon the pun), Splatter Beach is a send-up of the bikini beach blanket films of the sixties mixed with a sizable helping of the creature-on-the-beach features that were also so prevalent during that time. Yes, there are humanoid sea monsters lurking about, yes, they wrack up a couple of kills throughout the running time, and yes, we get to witness the awesomeness of the Riptides concert in all its glory.Ī couple of weeks ago, Camp Motion Pictures released Splatter Farm, the debut film from those lovable scamps known as the Polonia Brothers. With the help of local nutjob Tess (Erin Brown) and musclehead Duke (Ken Van Sant), Rupert eventually gets to the bottom of the mystery, and let's just say that it wouldn't be a very exciting movie if there wasn't anything to this case. Then we have Rupert (Dave Fife), a young man who has tagged along with them in order to do a little research on the legend of the sea-creature which has supposedly been terrorizing the residents of this town for the last couple of years. On the one hand, we've got Rodney (Brice Kennedy) and Tonya (Erika Smith), two lovers who simply want to get drunk and stoned, have some premarital sex, and watch the Riptides beach concert. The film takes place on and around - appropriately enough - Splatter Beach, a small beach where a group of friends have decided to set up camp for the weekend for various reasons.

That changes next month (or last weekend if you're lucky enough to get screener copies), and the only thing that I can say is 'It's about damned time.' Almost exactly one year ago, I received an email announcing the launch of Camp Motion Pictures, a branch of Alternative Cinema which would specialize in 'newly produced feature films, never-before-released exploitation fare, yet to be discovered gems from bygone decades.' That one little line sold me, and seeing their initial lineup certainly didn't hurt after all, how could any horror-loving geek not get excited about a distributor that would be giving some love to all of those forgotten eighties horror flicks that have yet to see a DVD release? However, while we've seen a lot of forgotten gems get solid DVD releases over the course of the last year, we've yet to see a single newly produced feature film.
