A small group of people come to an island to relax but soon find themselves trapped on the island with a murderer in their midst.
I love that the film features Tunisian-born Maurice Poli, who would go on to appear in Bava's "Baron Blood" and star in "Rabid Dogs". He has a such a good look about him, I would watch him in just about anything. (Unfortunately, it seems that he did not make any English-speaking films, so it may be harder for me to track his stuff down.)
Craig Butler called the movie "a confusing and not terribly exciting whodunit... the mundane, run-of-the-mill story and the only-adequate cast keep Dolls from being anything but a mediocre movie." I disagree. While it may not be much of a whodunit, I actually enjoyed the cast and thought it developed into much more than "mediocre".
