In the beautiful quaint beach resort of Amity Island, something hideous, something so deliciously evil has vanquished the tranquility and shattered the peace. First, it violently took the life of a young girl, leaving her mangled remains rotting on the beach, her echoed screams cursing the night skies.

Now, something must be done, before it returns to feed. With the Amity tourist board and town Mayor Larry Vaugn determined to keep the beaches open for the Summer Season, its up to Police Chief Brody, marine biologist Matt Hooper and colorful fisherman Quint to hunt down the 200 Pound White Death and put an end to the bloodshed.

The problem as I see it with “The Stepford Wives” hasn’t as much to do with the movie itself, as it has to do with the way the movie’s been marketed. Advertised as a biting, dark comedy with a hint of horror, Frank Oz’s “The Stepford Wives” turned out to be a campy comedy with humor replacing horror, and winks at the audience replacing the ‘dark’ in dark comedy.
