The plot and atmosphere are good, though, and a professional director like Ted Post always does more than what you think is possible with the limited means available. Five former college girlfriends in their early 30s have planned a joyful reunion weekend on an island resort, but unfortunately for them a wife-murdering lunatic escaped from a nearby asylum and hides out on the island as well.
Even though there are only 2 possible suspects, the caretaker and the boatman, Ted Post and his cast manages to uphold the tension. Admittedly, every slightly experienced fan of the genre will see straight through the red herrings and correctly guess the culprit's identity, but still. Fantastic cast, also, with Robert Conrad and Bradford Dillman rivaling to be close to the ladies.
