Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Broken Lizard's Club Dread
Students spend spring break on Paradise Island. A killer on the island begins killing the employees one by one. He destroys the boats and the only means of communication, trapping everyone on the island. The employees hunt for the killer, but don't know who they can trust. When only four employees are left, they find the killer and learn why he's killing; the island's owner signed the island over to another guy instead of the killer. The four employees manage to get away and fix the boat, but the killer gets one more of them before they're able to kill him and escape back to civilization.
--Brandon Swenson, Resident Scholar
