About this release
This gripping giallo from director Ferdinando Baldi is a prime and gritty example of the celebrated movie genre. On a small island in the Mediterranean, an annual vacation turns into a bloody nightmare for one rich family as each one is brutally murdered by an unknown executioner. Filled with nudity and violence this is a gripping and breathless experience and pushes the twisted on screen events to their limit. The stunning location adds a decadent yet daring atmosphere to the movie and Baldi’s keen eye for exposed flesh keeps the pace hot, steamy and extremely dangerous.

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...
