"SUN, sea, sex and slaughter" is what the box tells me and yes, as it happens, those are the first things I look for in a movie.

Despite being an ultimate dream of a film for all who watch it - anyone who does must first remember a few things.

Forget acting ability, plot, suspense, drama and realism as the main points of a movie and replace them with lots of scantily-clad lovelies, a huge machete and some silly accents.

Don't take this movie seriously and you won't be offended.

Coconut Pete's Pleasure Island (an exotic Butlins) is the setting and a boatload of new recruits has just joined the party for some serious drinking and party games.

Everything's going swimmingly until a nutcase with a machete appears - as if from nowhere - and goes on the rampage intent on murdering Coconut Pete and all his staff.

Add some not-so-special effects, plenty of blood and the best ending of a movie - ever - and you're kind of there. Think Police Academy III meets Super Troopers.

It's so bad, it's great.
