You know what the premise is, it's in the title, but based on experience, you'd imagine a lazy, unimaginative slasher film...you're dead wrong.
Plot: A group of University graduating students board a ferry to a friends family mansion on an island in one of the hoity toity places those pesky American socialites seem to love. Sadly for one of the locals working the ferry, he's crushed and rushed to the mainland for medical assistance. Despite the tragedy (the rich in these film's often uninterested in the real people issues), the 'fool's' begin immediately, with whoopie cushions, collapsing chairs and trick lights. As the film progresses, the students begin to disappear one by one. A tenuous link to a possible evil twin and a slew of body parts make for the amusement factor here, but there's also the twist that despite it's obvious nature, makes the movie fun and original (for the era).
No 'copping out' in this film. Enjoy.
Budget: $5,000,000
Gross: $12,947,763
Fun Fact: Look out for the hilarity that is 'Biff' from Back to the Future. A 2008 remake came along and vanished shortly after.
