“Let’s have a party, huh?. Let me have the rope.”

Some friends and business associates has retreated to a remote island for relaxation and partying. One of them is a scientist who just invented a revolutionary chemical process, which all of them wants to get their hands on. He’s fighting off the various offers, but then people gets murdered. One by one.

A classic Agatha Christie like thriller. Highly entertaining but not too good. Some cool and memorable scenes and Edwige Fenech helps the movie, together with a psychedelic set design and a groovy score. Probably not Bava’s proudest moment, but all in all an ok feature.
