The back cover of the VHS release claims that the film was banned (by the Ministry of Good Cinema, presumably) and that now 14 seconds had been deleted the film could be now be seen in the UK, but watching was not advisable and could cause distress. It certainly distressed me. Never in my life have I been subjected to as much dross . Some friends go to an island and one by one they are killed. None of the deaths is horrific in the slightest, which makes one wonder what is in the missing 14 seconds. 'Dire' goes no way to explaining how bad this film is. The plot makes little sense, the lighting is poor, the acting indifferent. I have never before seen a horror film so unhorrifying. Be warned; there is nothing about this which is enjoyable. Not unintentionally funny, not frightening, simply a wasted hour and a half of my life: I urge you not to watch it.
