For movie number two we have Whodunit? (seemingly better known as Island of Blood). This one is new to me, and I went in not expecting much, but it turns out this is one of the more competently executed low budget 80s slashers. I guess it’s supposed to be based on an Agatha Christie novel so that might explain it.
A group of first time actors are filming a movie on an isolated island with no contact to the mainland except through a radio on the boat of the perpetually agitated and grumpy caretaker. A tape deck appears playing a mysterious song and someone gets killed. The boat blows up but everyone just has to make it through the night until the rest of the production crew arrives the next day… Each killing is unique and the effects are decent. There even seems to be a slight bit of logic to the resolution.
Nothing about this movie is super original but it kept my interest and I’ll definitely watch it again sometime.
