| Director Mario Bava's heart wasn't in this very conventional murder mystery and it shows. Focusing on a group of bored and boring rich people trapped on an island, this film is remembered solely for the scene of glass balls bouncing down a staircase, finally resting around the bathtub where a bloody murder victim sits. There's so much better Bava out there such as KILL, BABY KILL, HERCULES IN THE HAUNTED WORLD, BLOOD AND LACE. Get cracking. |

| This movie delivers everything one expects from a Mario Bava giallo: excellent photography, a suspenseful plot, and a twist ending. As the guests are murdered one by one, the survivors stranded on the island decide to keep the bodies in the walk-in freezer (I guess to leave some evidence for the police?) next to a side of beef. It's an interesting visual motif as each new victim gets added. If you like the giallo genre of if you're a fan of Hitchcock, this movie will make you happy. |
