It’s tough to look away when you see a title such as BIKINI MONSTERS. Now, there’s one fast and simple way to sum up the necessary ingredients for a bofo B-movie. However, you better make damn sure that your flick delivers on its titular promise. At least from the sound of BIKINI MONSTERS’ plot, we shouldn’t be disappointed. Take a peek:
In a laboratory somewhere along the coast of Florida, a scientist is working feverishly on a grisly experiment. Known by the local transients only as the “Beach Bum”, he is trying to create his vision of ultimate beauty, a mermaid. But test after test ends up in failure, leaving behind a series of mutated abominations. Still, the experiment continues.
At a nearby beach the mutilated body of a man turns up, his female companion missing. Detective Elizabeth Wayne heads up an investigation to find the killer, her only leads being the body of the murdered man, a single witness so drunkenly asleep that he claims to have neither heard nor observed anything, and a group of strange looking scales found at the scene.
Enlisting the aid of marine biologists Craig and Mike, Detective Wayne attempts to unravel the mystery behind the strange scales which defy identification. She feels that somehow they are key to what is going on.
As the bodies of more men pile up and more girls end up missing, Detective Wayne tries one last ploy to draw out the killer; use herself as bait!
Well, the thought of sexy, scantily clad mermaids does have a nice ring to it. I think movie buffs have been into these fishy ladies ever since Daryl Hanna showed her butt in SPLASH (and I know lots of peeps are hot for THE LITTLE MERMAID too). So perhaps BIKINI’s director, Terency Muncy, is onto something here. His cast is comprised of a lot of unknowns, but at least they’re hot (see pics below).
