Five Dolls for an August Moon

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. Wealthy industrialist George Stark (Teodora Corrà) has gathered a group of friends - played by a who's who of Italian genre cinema including William Berger, Ira von Fürstenberg, Edwige Fenech and Howard Ross - 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. (Arrow Films)
