Beautiful, moving film.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

This has many things I like in a movie--a Catholic school setting with a lot of improbably mature-looking, leggy, and big-breasted Catholic schoolgirls doffing their uniforms at every opportunity, a former clean-cut TV star (Alyssa Milano) trying on an "adult" role, and, of course, David Keith as a laconic detective.The plot involves a series of murders at an isolated Catholic girls' school. David Keith is investigating. Milano plays a novice nun/secretary who helps him out. In between the murders there are a plethora of sex scenes--straight sex scenes, lesbian sex scenes, teacher-student sex scenes, David Keith-Alyssa Milano sex scenes. This isn't perhaps as racy as most erotic thrillers of 90's, but it's better acted, more competently made, and certainly more interesting. David Keith is great in this and it's hard to believe he largely vanished after this role (and before he could finally get together with Keith David and do a black-and-white buddy cop comedy). Milano was much more undraped and sexy in "Embrace of the Vampire" and "Poison Ivy 2", but she does a better ACTING job here, not being entirely unconvincing as a novice nun (who may not actually be a nun).There's also a good supporting cast including Terry Mulligan as the local veterinarian/coroner and Peter Hanlon as a creepy headmaster taking sexual advantage of his nubile students (although it's kinda hard to blame him when you see the actresses playing the "students"). I didn't recognize any of the younger supporting actresses, but being somewhat of an authority in the matter, I have to say that along with "Little Witches" this is probably the sexiest Catholic schoolgirl movie of the 90's (a genre that has regrettably vanished in the more politically correct new millennium). Recommended.

***SPOILERS*** Standered slasher movie that has the new deputy in town, or in in this case on the island, Jack Gales, David Keith,confronted with not just the suspected suicide of a local Catholic school girl Gwen, April Telek, but the disappearance of some dozen other Catholic school girl students over the last ten years from the same school!Jack trying to get a handle on what's happening is stymied by the Mother Superior, Pamela Perry, who want's to keep what's going on in her school under wraps and from the public. It's as if she's's hiding the real reason for all these mysterious incidents involving runaway as well as dead students in her school. It's later that Jack together with the Mother Superior's assistant soon to be nun Cristina Herrera, Alyssa Milano, uncover the truth about what's really behind all these disappearances as well as Gwen's suicide. This happens only after a number of other persons including student Suzy, Jennifer Copping,and the island's handsome and horny delivery boy Eric, Steve Bacic, end up becoming the unknown and unseen killers next victims.***Spoiler from this point onwards*** Were given a number of suspects to who's behind all these ritual-like murders which turned out to be false leads resulting in the tragic suicide of the Catholic School's somewhat creepy Headmaster Mr. Gray, Peter Harlon. Jack together with Cristnia soon realize that with the sole exception of Gwen all the murdered and missing students had gone to confession and it was their confessions to sins that they committed that lead, as it later turned out, to their brutal murders!The killer for once, in a made for TV suspense movie, came as a real surprise coming out of almost nowhere and then having it out with both Jack and Cristina who, like the audience, never saw him coming. The real reasons behind all this murder and carnage in the movie turned out to be a false sense of rightness on the part of the demented and crusade, in stomping out all the evil in he school, minded religious psycho. Mentally deranged and totally obsessed with his, or her, own sense of doing GOD's work the killer in fact was doing the work of the Devil instead. This was later reviled in what the killer, besides murdering, did to the victims of his ten year long rampage.

I only just recently discovered this movie and was glad I did. It is an excellent movie of mystery and intrigue. David Keith and Alyssa Milano where both excellent in their respective roles. The movie gives a little insight of what may be going on behind the walls of a Catholic school. Plays well on what we have all seen in the 'clicks' of any school be it public or private; The cool crowd and not so cool. But it is played in well with the concept of the movie and the mystery behind the murders. I spent most of my time trying to figure out who dun it. Which to me is a sign of a great mystery. The BC scenery adds a certain magic to the mystery as well. It was well written and well acted. I recommend this to anyone who loves a mystery.

I really liked this thriller very much. The actors are sympathic and good, the plot is thrilling and the settings are beautiful, as is the excellent photography. I especially liked the music of this film, it's incredible!
