Bikini Island

About This Movie

Bikini Island is a curious blend of horror and mystery, taking a premise that seems light and breezy—fabulous young women vying for cover girl status—and twisting it into something darker. The pacing is uneven, oscillating between languid island vibes and sudden jolts of tension, which feels like a nod to classic slasher flicks. The performances range from earnest to over-the-top, adding to that ‘so-bad-it’s-good’ charm. It’s not the most polished production, but the practical effects do have a certain low-budget charm that captures the era's aesthetic. The film dives into themes of competition, betrayal, and the superficiality of beauty, making it distinct in its own quirky way. Definitely not your usual beach romp.
