[box] Dr. Gavin: Tina’s death has affected a great many people… but it doesn’t give you or anyone else the right to be discourteous.[/box]

Combo of bad beach party movie with minimal, ludicrous monster action.

A vessel is disposing of barrels of radioactive waste by throwing them into the sea (!).  One splits and spills its contents.  We witness a skull morphing into a disfigured mass of limbs. But by the time it hits the air our monster looks more like a man in a comical rubber suit.  In the meantime, bikini-clad teenagers are partying and dancing to the tunes of the Del-Aires.  The inevitable occurs ….

This was bad enough but didn’t hit my funny bone.  I might seek out the MST3K version later.
