Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
Nine members of an extremely rich and hateful family have decided to have a reunion on a remote island in the Mediterranean. No sooner than their arrival, old grudges, resentments, and feuds make themselves known, along with allusions to some more macabre events in their past. But when their boats are sabotaged, thus stranding them without any connection to the mainland, it becomes clear that someone is not willing to let old wounds heal, a fact made all the more clear as bodies start to pile up…

Viewing Notes
P good giallo that I didn’t realize was a VS release until the end of the credits but it’s in the vol 5 gialli set that I don’t have yet. This one is nice bc it kinda plays like Bava’s August Moon with a group of attractive ppl stuck on an island and getting killed off one by one (well, I suppose it’s an homage to Agatha Christie as well).
Lots of fun machinations involving an incident in the past but the mystery is the weakest bc there’s a point when you know what’s going on. Still a good ride to see it play out plus amusing to watch all the infidelity between family members.
