Directed by: Mario Bava
Synopsis:
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 Corrí , 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 Fí¼rstenberg (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.
