Overview

Nine members of an extremely rich and hateful family have decided to have a reunion on a remote island in the Mediterranean. No sooner than their arrival, old grudges, resentments, and feuds make themselves known, along with allusions to some more macabre events in their past. But when their boats are sabotaged, thus stranding them without any connection to the mainland, it becomes clear that someone is not willing to let old wounds heal, a fact made all the more clear as bodies start to pile up...

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A claustrophobic murder mystery where a dysfunctional family's dark secrets become a death sentence on a Mediterranean island. The tension ratchets inexorably as paranoia, resentment, and a killer among them turn a forced reunion into a descent into paranoia and violence.
