Round a friend's house and we put on this uninspiringly packaged DVD that he'd got from God know's where. I was expecting little more than a lagoon and a voodoo doll from a film with a title like this - something to doze off to really -, but was pleasantly surprised to find myself enjoying a fast paced, horror flick, an interesting voodoo motif, and a chilling denouement. It's amazing what can be done with a beach, a few bikinis and a few inexperienced actors. This is a remarkably cogent and intelligent film that knocks seven shades of something out of The Beach and Scream. Why hadn't I heard of it before? And why aren't there more horror films made with Voodoo as the main subject?
