"Houseboys come and go but there's always the bottle"

Warning: Spoilers
The film looks great with the ocean, the fascinating cliff edge house, the interesting decor, the visual flourishes like the walk-in freezer filling with bodies and the cascade of glass balls. You can almost get the tang of the sea. Unfortunately the plot is incomprehensible and by the end I was confused about who killed who and why they were killed. The acting is proficient but you never really got to know the characters. It plays out like Agatha Christie's classic 'And Then There Were None' story but throws out the substantial baby with the bathwater leaving a good looking but empty film. Of the cast Edwige Fenech as Marie Chaney held one's attention the most, for obvious reasons.

Watched it twice and both times had the same bafflement with the plot.
