On a small island populated by a few inhabitants, the exploited nature revolts against the reckless humanity and causes a massacre. An idea not very original supported by a decent direction, but never particularly inspired, and seasoned with more than a pinch of irony. The film never gives us real moments of "fear". Similar to the Hammer productions of the sixties, negligible and far from the tastes of the modern public.
