A
group of teens go on a deserted mansion
set on an island for their spring break
vacation.
However, one of them has a gruesome
injury after his head is hit by a boat
and then when they land on the island.
Also there are some pranks the teens
think is harmless but eventually they
turn serious when they all think that
they are having the time of their lives.
But a killer is watching them. Then they
all try to find a way to survive after
they discover that one of their friends
is killed but the killer slaughters them
one by one.
Is it just a practical joke?
It all began with a toybox that a child
named Muffy got for her Birthday that
scared her and was humiliated as there
was a toymonster inside and now she is
full grown and with her friends on the
island.
Could she be killing these people?
The film looks
like it will be an exciting flick but at
the end it's a real disappointment and
you'll all see what I mean when you watch
it. It would seem more like a mystery
than a horror.
This one was made by the same producer Frank
Mancuso Jr. who worked on most of
the Friday the 13th sequels
and tried to create a new idea for a
slasher flick like he did with the Friday
sequels but failed miserably.
Also the shootings on the outdoor scenes
looks very similar to Camp Crystal Lake
The acting is in
not too bad shape. Deborah Foreman
does well as an estranged teen and makes
you wonder if she's responsible for all
the murders.
We also have Amy Steel in this
one as she was remembered for her role as
Ginny in Friday the 13th Part 2
and again she plays the spooked out
innocent victim to a killer.
The side of a
persons face is sliced by having his head
hit by the side of a boat.
A head is decapitated
A guy's crotch is bloodied and lots more.
The directing by Fred
Walton is pretty good as he has
great shots of the boat coming in to the
island and then accidentally crushing one
of the teens as it looks shocking.
He directed good reactions with the
actors when they experience the harmless
pranks making out that someone will be
murdered for all of this
Walton used to direct the
Alfred Hitchock Presents TV
series and was better recognised for
doing that show.
The music is composed
terrifically by Charles Bernstein
with very smooth creepy keyboard music as
he makes sure it doesn't sound like one
of those typical slasher soundings.
He's composed for numerous other horror
films including A Nightmare On
Elm Street.
There are
also two songtracks featured in the film
"Too Bad You're Crazy" by Jerry
Whitman and Linda Harman and
"Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" by
Three Dog Night
William:
You used to date a guy???
Anna: Yes doofus, I do
date men believe it or not. I just don't
happen to be interested in you. You are a
hound. I can't believe you outomatically
think I'm a lesbian because I don't shove
my tits in your face.
William: You mean you're
not???
Hunter:
What if you run into the KILLER!? Or
KILLERS?!
Lance: I'll be
persuasive. That's why I got this (Holds
a rifle in his hands)
Hunter (Enters
the house after Sara unlocks the door):
What in the hell did you do that for?!
Sara: I was on my way
upstairs, I didn't hear you. Sorry
jerk!!!
Hunter: Oh, I'm sorry. I
was slightly terrified!!!!
Sara: Asshole!!!
