Written and directed by: Stuart Simpson
Featuring: Nelli Scarlet, Kyrie Capri, Karlie Madden, Kate Watts, Norman Yemm
The opening minutes of Aussie writer/director Stuart Simpson’s Monstro (a.k.a. El Monstro Del Mar) are great fun. Three tough broads in Russ Meyer guise — Baretta (a solid Nelli Scarlet), Snowball (Kate Watts) and Blondie (Karli Madden) — are having car trouble. Stranded on the side of the road, these tatted-up tarts sweat in the heat while they wait for help to arrive. They turn on the radio, prompting Blondie to hop up and dance on the hood of the car. Soon, two sketchy townies see the sexy trio and pull over to assist them. Through a series of tight compositions and little dialogue, an intriguing tension plays out. Will the women join these men for a “swim” after the car is fixed? Or do they have other plans?

El Monstro Del Mar! by Australian filmmaker Stuart Simpson is a giddy, modernized recreation of the golden era of American teenage exploitation films. It has the perfect combination of everything that made exploitation great in the Sixties: Sexy girls, a rockin’ soundtrack, a gross monster. Where Simpson kicks it all up a notch for modern audiences is that it really delivers on the gore that older films could only tease about.
The film’s black & white opening of three “bad” girls – and you know actresses Nelli Scarlet, Kate Watts and Karli Madden are bad from their tattoos and low-cut tops — driving through a bleak, desolate Australian landscape, El Monstro Del Mar! is a direct homage to Russ Meyer’s classic Faster, Pussycat! Kill Kill!, right down to the women’s hair color: Two brunettes and a blonde.
