TV | Harper's Island | Pass

This one surprised us. It's a horror mini-series (13 episodes - a lucky number!) about a wedding party that goes to an island off the coast of Seattle (I know that's geographically not correct, but you know what I mean). They and the other island inhabitants are being killed off one by one...is the supposedly dead mass murdered who struck seven years ago or is it a copycat?

This is pretty straight-up horror, with slasher elements. That is not our genre. But, the cast is really good and there is enough intrigue to really keep you on the edge of your seats. There's no secret...everyone's going to die, but which one, when and how?

I'd stayed away from this when it was actually on because I'd heard that it was pretty disturbing. It is, but on a scale of things, it's not nearly as disturbing as some cable offerings and nowhere near as nasty as what's available on DVD and in the theaters.

Very good and a pass!
