    • Trivia
      The movie was originally shot with no computer effects for the monster, just an actor in a rubber suit. The final cut was deemed not scary enough, and all the computer effects for the creature were added.
    • Goofs
      The tent is one color when the piñata grabs Lisa, and a different color when it pulls her inside.
    • Quotes

      Lisa: Monica, I need to pee.

      Monica: Just hold it in.

      Lisa: I have been waiting for over an hour.

    About What You'd Expect
    College co-eds are stalked by an evil pinata in a tropical paradise! A premise like that could be the makings of a cult classic.

    Alas, "Pinata: Survival Island" seems neither inspired nor clumsy enough to reach that status. The film DOES qualify as an obscure horror hoot, especially in the early scenes of the wicked pinata's reign of terror.

    "Buffy"'s Nicholas Brendon is always a welcome presence, but there's little to his role here, compared with your average BtVS rerun.
