Moon in Scorpio (1987)

A sort of psycho killer whodunnit (If i'm being kind) about three couples including Britt Ekland and John Phillip Law, who go on a pacific voyage on a yacht. However one of the six is a murderer.

One of those films that's probably described as a bit of a mess really. From watching last night via the nice looking 88 Films Blu-ray it would appear that the opening and closing scenes in a hospital were tacked on as was Eckland's narration which soon begins to grate. There are clumsy attempts to implicate the men as possible killers thanks to daft flashbacks to their time in Vietnam, however these flashbacks don't really go anywhere and seem to basically be there to add to the running time. There's a memorable sequence in which Law wrestles with a half rotted corpse in a swimming pool but again this doesn't really bring anything to the rest of the film.

Eckland seems uncomfortable throughout and the direction is perfunctory although there are some well shot scenes outside on the yacht and the kills and suitably bloody.

Although i quite enjoyed myself watching this it's not a good film and i was on more than one occasion thinking it was a poor man's Waves of Lust (1975).

Awesome poster art mind you.
