While the uninspired murder mystery offers no creative deaths and little payoff at the unveiling of the killer, it’s all handled in the kind of breezy fashion where impish characters barely react to an ever-increasing body count and just strap in for the ride, which works greatly in its favour.

Excellent whodunnit. The overall theme has been done quite a few times over the years. Guest are invited to a party by an unknown host and begin dying off one at a time.

A very enjoyable multi-murder mystery. One of those stories where a bunch of people are invited to a party and someone kill 'em off one by one. While it is a 'B' movie, they keep it simple and focused enough for the story to work without the need for anything super extravagant. Could have used one or two higher profile actors, but those that was selected do well enough. So just sit back an enjoy the murders.....
