Codex Atanicus
Codex Atanicus is a three story anthology by Spanish director Carlos Atanes. Before watching the movie I never heard of the guy, but the introduction video on the DVD by one of his regular actresses Arantxa Peña made me realize that I'm in for a hell of a ride. Experimental, bizarre, sick, strange - these are some of the words that describe the stories contained in Codex Atanicus. The anthology is opened by a 20 minute short from 1995 called Metaminds & Metabodies. I am really not into this kind of experimental videos, but I will try to summarize. It opens with a girl singing in the club. Everything looks ultra underground and the girl is connected with some wires to the walls. Strange people are watching her...

Movie Review: Bikini Bloodbath

Story
A group of high school girls decide to throw a graduation party as a killer known as “Chef Death” roams the streets killing them off one by one.

Comments
The movie opens up to a newscast about a killer on the loose in a small town by the name of Chef Death. The newscast wakes up topless Jenny, who gets up and goes to her closet putting on a robe with the movie title on the back, which was very clever in my opinion.

After a few credits were at Jenny's highs chool where she's in gym playing volleyball, terribly, with a few of her sexy classmates. Then off to the showers where the group of girls decide to have a party at Jenny’s house because her parents are gone for the weekend and it’s their last chance to spend time together before they graduate. Anyways on their way out the door their obviously girl crazy coach Miss Johnson, played by horror icon Debbie Rochon, but as teenage girls they don’t listen and go on with their party plans anyways.

After running into a bunch of out of shape football players, I know this because it says “football player” on their plain white t-shirts, they head over to Jenny’s to party down, but not before a great little shopping montage. After getting to Jenny’s house there’s a party preparation montage and then it’s time to party!

While the girls have their party the football players have a party of their own, having their metrosexual twister and poker games. Yeah so anyways I don’t really want to explain that one any more, it was kind of creepy to watch. NEXT!

So back at the girl’s party were hit with a dance montage, a changing into my bikini montage and then it’s off to the hot tub where the girls talk about the size of guys units and all things teenage snobs talk about, until they are interrupted by the only two strait football players that get smart and go looking for what young men want, women.

Now after this it kinda goes between the metrosexual football players party and the hot tub, and that’s when Chef Death dishes out his wrath. Now by this time there’s only two deaths so it’s about time for the slaughterfest to begin and sure enough he tosses his butcher knives like they are going out of style.

One after one the teenagers are slaughtered off until only a couple remain. Now I wont finish the movie and give anything away but know that there’s two last montages in the movie, the gathering weapons to fight off the deranged bloodthirsty chef montage and the fight till the death montage. So in all there’s 6 montages and if you love them about as much as I do then you’ll hate this movie.

This movie is extremely cheesy, which is obviously the intent by the guys that directed this little gem. As you can tell I’m extremely sarcastic because I want to say something good about this movie to encourage you all to see the next two Bikini Bloodbath movies but the only thing I can come up with is that the T&A scenes are pretty sweet and abundant, that and almost all the girls are smoking hot. Aside from that this movie was kinda boring and disappointing, especially being that Debbie Rochon is involved and I personally think she’s a great actress. Cheesy FX, cheesy story line and a lot of homosexual humor just kinda got old after a while.

If you like Troma flicks you’ll probably get a kick out of this movie but otherwise you might find yourself getting annoyed really quick.

Final Comments
The girls in the movie were the only thing that kept my interest, aside from that I found myself fast forwarding through some of the dumber scenes. Watch at your own risk, and only for the skin.
