Synopsis

When six friends fly off on a weekend getaway and are suddenly plagued by engine trouble, they're forced to land on a remote island. Looking for shelter, they're grateful to encounter Ma and Pa and their children - an eccentric family living in the island's backwoods. But what begins as simple hospitality turns into a terrifying race for survival as the friends start disappearing one by one ... and turning up dead.

It's implied that one of the women is raped after she's killed but nothing is shown.

There's very little gore for an 80's slasher. Just some splashes of blood around the wounds on dead bodies.
