Years ago Coconut Pete (Bill Paxton) had a hit record, but now he runs a tropical island resort where he spends his days basking in hedonism with the rest of the resort's offbeat staff. The paradise Coconut Pete presides over, however, becomes a living hell when an unknown killer begins slaughtering the staff. As the body count increases, so too does suspicion among the survivors. Now it's up to Coconut Pete and what's left of his staff to solve the mystery and stop the bloodshed.

Critics Consensus

Comedy is too hit-or-miss in this slasher spoof.

Chicago Reader

A thick, rich slab of American cheese. As bad-taste comedies go, this is more clever than gross...

Common Sense Media

This slasher/comedy isn't funny or entertaining.

Rated: 1/5

Lessons of Darkness

Even if it doesn't really succeed as a thriller or a comedy, the film isn't simply a hack-job either.

Rated: C+

Midwest Film Journal

The Broken Lizard quintet follows its quintessential cult-comedy classic "Super Troopers" with something like "Ten Little Indians" interpreted by five big imbeciles - a slasher parody three "Screams" and three "Scary Movies" too late.

Rated: 0/4

Filme legalzinho, o roteiro é bacana, esse filme de terror é bem diferente em algumas partes, ele é um filme de terror mas as vezes parece que é paródia ou um filme de comédia, as cenas são sérias como um filme de terror, mas os personagens são de comédia que tiram sarro das cenas, fazendo o filme não ser de terror, no final quando mostra o assassino que era o maluco que trabalhava lá eu acho, três sobreviventes iam fugir de barco, só que o assassino ficou só com a parte de cima do porto agarrando a garota é depois o cara jogou o corpo do assassino e ele morreu do nada e foda-se, e ainda teve cenas de erros de gravação, para o mim o filme é um terror com paródia e comédia, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.

This is my favorite Broken Lizard film. If you are a fan of '80s slashers, you will love this movie.

Cheesy, but not too bad. If you're looking for a cheesy comedy-horror film, this is not too bad.

One of my all time favorite movies. First time I watched this I thought it was absolutely terrible. Years later I realized it was absolutely perfect all the way through.
