Piñata: Survival Island (2002)
[+]
(Foreign Titles)
Nomination Year: 2009
SYNOPSIS: The plot is pretty sublime. Ages ago, a tribe of piñata-makers cast all the evil out of their village, and imprisoned it into a piñata, which they set afloat. In the present day, a group of fraternity & sorority members are engaging in some sort of InterGreek/PanHellenic nonsense involving being handcuffed together, and hunting underwear from an otherwise-deserted island. But not to worry -- should they start to get sober, there's plenty of booze stashed around the place ... in piñatas.
Can you see where this is going? Yes, yes you can. Is it a lot of fun watching obnoxious fratlings get picked off one-by-one by a demonic piñata? Yes, yes it is. My only real complaint (besides the total lack of nudity)? Piñata-cam. That's the piñata's-eye-view, assuming that the piñata had one big multifaceted triangular red-tinted eye. Which it didn't.
Still ... this is one bad movie that I could probably watch again and again and again. Or maybe only one "again."
