An industrialist invites some of his friends to his island retreat in order to persuade a chemist (William Berger better known as Django}to sell them his new secret formula for an industrial resin. Of course he doesn't want to sell at any price and this leads to resentment and veiled threats which leads to all on the island being killed off one by one, in this "Ten little Indians" type thriller and of course there is a storm brewing and the phones are down, I think you get the picture .Now how do I review a Bava film without mentioning "Stylish" or "Superb use of Colour" . I don't think I can really,but I will try ..This films theme is reminiscent of Bava's more famous work Bay of Blood, with its high body count .it has a funky little score too, very 60's ..the film at times tends towards black comedy with the body bags swinging in the freezer, I have to say it made me laugh and as with all Bava films the women are quite nice to look at in particular Edwige Fenech a lady I have heard a lot about and I can see why .all in all an enjoyable little thriller, not Bava's best work but certainly worth a look
