FANDOM NAME: Bang Bang Baby (2014)
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: This is one heck of a heartbreaking movie - and funny, and strange, and cracky - and warning before you go any further, it includes, in its twist ending, some triggery things, which I'm going to spoiler block here, but PLEASE be aware of them if you're going to watch the film.
Date Rape, Body horror, Spousal Rape, Spousal Abuse, Unwanted pregnancy, shotgun wedding, murder
On its surface, Bang Bang Baby seems to be Psycho Beach Party Meets the Fly - it's about Stepphy Holiday, an about-to-graduate high school teenager residing in Lonely Arms, whose dream of winning a New York based contest and singing alongside her idol, Bobby Shore.
Those dreams are dashed when her father refuses to let her enter the contest, but on the night of her prom - just as a chemical leak at the local plant begins - Bobby arrives in town with his agent, his car breaking down right outside Stepphy's house. Naturally, she volunteers her home to him while he waits for his car to be fxed. As Stepphy and Bobby gets closer, the mutations of various local townfolk get worse - and begins to effect Stepphy as well, just as Bobby proposes.
Most of Bang Bang Baby is a rollicking good time - if you like Little Shop of Horrors, you'll like it. IF you like Psycho Beach Party, you'll love it. As I said above, this has a gigantic dark twist, all of which and which I can lay out in a spoiler cut in a comment if anyone wishes to know about it. I love the double-layers of the realities the film presents us - some call it Lynch Meets (Jules, Earth Girls are Easy) Shears, and I can't help but agree with them.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): It's purchasable at most streaming movie outlets for $2.99
