This is one of those 80's slashers in which the teenagers are SO stupid that they really deserve to die, and it actually takes way too long until they get wiped out, if you ask me. The movie opens very promising, with a brutal rape-sequence on an island inhabited by a small community of people. This intro fools you into believing that you're about to see a relentless and misanthropic 80's gem. Immediately after this sequence, however, it goes straight downhill. 36 years later, five insufferable teenagers that washed ashore this same island, find out that the place is still inhabited by the cannibalistic offspring of the girl that was raped. Now, I THINK there were some gory death-scenes going on, only I couldn't see it because the photography varies from dark...to impenetrably dark! Most of the playtime, you're just staring at a black screen and it's up to yourself to guess which one of the teenagers is being butchered. Not very interesting for a slasher... The sound effects are reasonably good and there's a handful of atmospheric moment. The same Canadian director also made "Prom Night" which is a lot better. When you eventually get to see the monstrous killer (only briefly, mind you) it exactly reflects the quality of the film: poor, pathetic and extremely disappointing.
