Five Dolls for an August Moon [Blu-ray + DVD]

undefined

ISLAND OF TERROR! A weekend retreat on a private island should be a recipe for rest and relaxation unless you re appearing in a giallo by the master of the macabre, Mario Bava (Black Sunday, Blood and Black Lace)... Wealthy industrialist George Stark (Teodora Corrà, Django the Bastard) has gathered a group of friends - played by a who's who of Italian genre cinema including William Berger (Faccia a faccia), Ira von Fürstenberg (The Fifth Cord), Edwige Fenech (Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key) and Howard Ross (The New York Ripper) - to his island retreat. He hopes to entice them into investing in a new project, but soon the sunbathing and cocktails parties give way to murder, as the corpses begin to pile up one by one. Paying homage to Agatha Christie s Ten Little Indians, Five Dolls for an August Moon turns the style up to ten. Surrounded by beautiful women, stunning locations and flamboyant fashions and abetted by Piero Umiliani s equally exotic score Bava creates one of his most eye-catching movies, a visual tour de force.
