Released in 1962, Psyche Out is a notable film directed by Walt Phillips, running about 60 minutes.
What it’s about. The opening moments of "Psyche Out" introduce a young boy who craves the adventures achieved in the surf. The boy -- or at least his dreams -- seem like they could provide a recurring framing device for Walt Phillips' third film (following "Sunset Surf Craze" and "Surf Mania"), but that's the last we see of the boy or hear of ambitions. "Psyche Out" contains less poetic musing, travelogue, comic relief or similar stuff characteristic of surf films of the time, in favor of surf action at Malibu, Point Zero, Rincon and Steamer Lane. This is to the benefit of the film.
Who’s in it. Psyche Out stars Lance Carson as Himself, Skip Frye as Himself, Michael Hynson as Himself and Mike Hynson as Himself, among others.
How it landed. With an audience score of 6.0/10, Psyche Out has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
