About
You may enjoy this if you like stylish, offbeat locked-room mysteries with sleazy rich suspects and a campy mood, especially if Eyeball or Seven Deaths in the Cats Eyes appeal to you; Not for you if you want clear plotting or intense on-screen violence.
Pros: striking island setting; eerie, playful atmosphere; dark humor touches | Cons: confusing story; thin characters; slow, off-screen murders
