El Monstro Del Mar

Australia, 2010, 76 mins / Rating: TBA / Release Date: 05 October 2011

The opening night film of the 2010 Melbourne Underground Film Festival, Stuart Simpson’s EL MONSTRO DEL MAR swept audiences away with it’s brilliant and cheeky nod to 60’s psychedelic exploitation fare. Reminiscent of Russ Meyer’s FASTER PUSSYCAT...KILL KILL, featuring sexy girls, hapless men, and a throbbing soundtrack, you won’t want to miss EL MONSTRO DEL MAR  

Three gorgeously deranged killers, Beretta, Blondie and Snowball, hole up in a small beachside community after their murderous actions attract the wrong kind of attention. But not all is as it seems in this small town. A few of the locals try desperately to warn them of the dangers of going into the water but these crazy vixens listen to no one and they brazenly take to the sea. Unbeknownst to them however, their seaside frolic has awkened a horrifying beast from the depths of the ocean. It isn’t long before these sexy sirens are hip-deep in trouble as the sea itself rises in a tidalwave of blood and they face the fight of their lives against the terrifying Kraken.
