"Nightmare Beach" concerns itself with a gang of stereotypical, party-hearty Spring Breakers who come to bad ends, courtesy of a motorcycle helmet-wearing psychopath who rides a truly awesome bike.Don't look for much more plot than that, although there IS a disgraced football player named Skip (Nicolas De Toth), whose best bud (Rawley Valverde) becomes a victim.
I had avoided this film for years as I am a fan of Lenzi's previous work and heard this one was no good. Well, folks are incorrect, the film is a BLAST!
You can say that Umberto Lenzi's films are trashy, sleazy paens to mayhem and gore. I won't disagree with you.
Edward "Diablo" Santos was executed in Florida for murder which he claims he didn't do. He vowed to be back.
Your typical crazy teenage slasher flick... this one being set at Spring Break at the (you'll never guess) beach.
Nicolas De Toth and Rawley Valverde play Skip and Ronnie, a pair of college football players who, along with thousands of other like-minded youngsters, head to the beach for spring break in search of sun, sea, sand and sex. The pair's fun is interrupted, however, when they get on the wrong side of the town's local biker gang, and a mysterious killer begins to bump off the Easter revellers in truly shocking style.
Here in his attempt to shamelessly imitate the success of American teen slasher-movies, veteran Italian director Umberto Lenzi bids you welcome to a lot more than just Spring Break! Welcome to clichéd situations and ridiculous stereotypes!
"Welcome to Spring Break..the annual migration of the idiot.
"Cannibal Ferox" writer & director Umberto Lenzi appropriated the spring break beach movies, the slasher movie, and the murderous animal movie and came up with the imaginative but ghoulish Welcome to Spring Break. Students arrive in Manatee Beach by the hundreds to party hardy, and a collegiate footballer Skip (Nicolas De Toth of "The Stuff") and his best friend Ronnie (Rawley Valverde of "Made in America") are among those who have come in search of booze and babes.
