The Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell (2006)

Visions of who will rule in a post-apocalyptic United States clash wildly between competing bands of survivors. This clever and dark satire is an insightful meditation on the nature of power, corruption, and flesh-eating women. Jane Seymour (Dancing with the Stars, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman) sets the stage as Daniel Baldwin (Paparazzi), and Kevin Wheatley (Red Velvet, Dirt) head up a young, sexy cast. Product Description

I actually turned it off

Unfunny and pretentious. The title is the best thing about this movie!!! This is one of the few movies I have actually turned off before the end. November 22, 2008

replacement for waterboarding

They should ship this movie to club gitmo and make the terrorists watch it. I couldn't get through the first 20 minutes of this movie. It was pure torture!!! September 20, 2008

Great Movie

This is a great movie. The first time I saw it was a couple years ago at the Pensacola Film Festival. The whole cast and crew did a great job on creating this movie.
I'm very into keeping up with all the celebrity, movie, and tv news all the time. I like how the DVD shows all the hard work that goes into making a film.

Only thing I have a question about and maybe someone can help me, is a tech problem I keep having with the DVD. My 3rd copy just arrived yesterday and still having problems. When I put it in, it wont allow me to go to the menu. It keeps forcing me to watch like 15 minutes worth of previews first, and while going through the previews, the first 2 copies wont allow me to fast forward, stop, or pause it. Then keeps having problems with jumping really bad too in the movie itself.
The 3rd copy just arrived yesterday, and it will let me pause it, but the other things fast forward and stop not working. This happens on all the DVD players I have, and no other DVD's having any problems.

Thanks,

Awful + pretentious.

This was easily one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. I couldn't even finish watching it, it struck me as so pretentious. It seemed like something an inexperienced film student would throw together--an egocentric, pretentious film student at that.

I can think "outside the box" certainly, but this film was just awful in its execution. There were many moments in this movie where it was trying to be profound, but with immature and blatantly stupid results. There are some people who will consider this movie to be some sort of genius production, but it isn't anywhere in the league of other avant-garde creations. August 13, 2008

Guess I'm in the minority.

I found this movie to be pretentious, idiotic, and not at all funny. I caught myself wondering what sort of person could actually get intrigued by this. It's not tongue-in-cheek enough to be campy, and it's not subtle enough to be satire. It was impossible for me to suspend my disbelief and swallow the idea that this was happening in a far future devastated by nuclear warfare. I expected that at any given moment the camera would turn and reveal the entire film crew, complete with the director wearing a hawaiian shirt, sitting in his chair under a beach umbrella, and sipping a fancy cocktail. I couldn't care about any of the characters. The beginning animations were interesting enough, but after about 20 minutes it disintegrated towards total boredom. I couldn't last past 45 minutes. A complete waste of time. If you want a morbidly funny/bizarre post-apocalyptic movie, try Delicatessen. July 27, 2008
