1989 - 94m.

B-movie bit actor James Hong (who also co-wrote/co-directed) plays a black magic practising wine maker who invites a group of people to his reclusive island mansion in order to kill them so he can make a serum that will keep him immortal and young.

Dated low-budget yawner is a boring mix of pointless titilation (as witnessed by a unnecessary keyhole spying on some scantily-clad aerobics), trite dialogue, bad make-up effects and a totally muddled (and dumb) script.

Even manages to throw-in some zombies, a magical amulet and a sacrificial ceremony if you really care. Hong's obscure and feeble attempt at making a horror movie should be left well alone, actually it should rot like the zombies that are buried in the title location.

Directed By: James Hong, William Rice.
