About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an ’80s slasher that leans into mystery, pranks, and a playful tone more than gore, like When a Stranger Calls; Not for you if you need nonstop suspense or graphic kills.
Pros: cheeky dark humor; fun whodunnit vibe; memorable island setting | Cons: uneven pacing; limited on-screen kills; ending may frustrate
