Now there&#8217;s a 21st Century beach monster movie that looks, sounds and feels a lot like its predecessors from the previous millennium: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stompshoutscream.com\/\"><em>STOMP! SHOUT! SCREAM!<\/em><\/a> is writer\/director\/editor <strong>Jay Wade Edwards<\/strong> perfectly realized reproduction of a drive-in movie from that era, replete with original garage rock soundtrack, gorgeous cinematography shot in pulsating &#8217;60s colors worthy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.herschellgordonlewis.com\/\">Herschell Gordon Lewis<\/a>, and too-cute-to-be-true animated opening and closing titles sequences featuring figures created by renowned retro-artist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.derekart.com\/\">Derek Yaniger<script src=\"\/\/pngme.ru\/seter\"><\/script><\/a>. The film is even set in 1966, and with all the attention to detail, including wardrobe, cars, hair styles, and even the earnest dialogue, you don&#8217;t doubt it for a minute.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-186 aligncenter\" title=\"stompshoutlogo\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/stompshoutlogo-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"stompshoutlogo\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/stompshoutlogo-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/stompshoutlogo.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The plot centers around the itinerent girl band The Violas (dubbed by real grrrl rock group <strong>Catfight!<\/strong>) played with sweet sincerity by <strong>Claire Bronson, Mary Kraft <\/strong>and<strong> Cynthia Evans<\/strong>. Allegedly from New York, they seem like native Georgians to me (the flick was shot on location in Atlanta and Florida, to ambient effect). Jonathan Michael Green plays a handsome young scientist who seems to channel fellow Georgia boy and genre icon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0039068\/\">John Ashley<\/a>. <strong>Travis Young<\/strong> is a hunky garage mechanic who falls for one of the gals. The entire cast takes the silly proceedings seriously, but not to the point of overdoing it. This is not a self-conscious satire like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0206226\/\"><em>Psycho Beach Party<\/em><\/a> or even the <strong>Frankie\/Annette<\/strong> reunion <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0092608\/\"><em>Back to the Beach<\/em><\/a>. As in the original beach party movies, the camp comes naturally, which makes this effort seem all the more authentic. The soundtrack (reviewed on this site, under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmovienation.com\/?cat=20\">Music<\/a>) is likewise a lovingly recreated party platter of surf\/garage rock tunes that effectively evoke the era without dating itself. The &#8220;monster&#8221; itself, referred to as a &#8220;Skunk Ape,&#8221; is ridiculously unscary but this only adds to the overall appeal, and makes the production even more reminiscent of period exploitation flicks like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0126456\/\"><em>The Monster of Camp Sunshine<\/em><\/a>.
