Storyline

A group of college students book a bargain dream holiday to a remote tropical island, little knowing that they have been lured there by the island's evil owner to fulfill an ancient voodoo prophecy. Soon, what appears to be paradise is transformed as friends and siblings are pitched against each other in a desperate fight for survival. Doubt, suspicion and panic splinter the group as each member begins to fall victim to the terrifying reality of their own worst nightmares. Can those who are left find the strength to confront and overcome the fear that will otherwise be their end, or will the voodoo curse win out?

User Reviews

highly under-rated chiller

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?
