Murder Party

"Mystery Party" is a colorful French film a la "Clue" and locked room games about a pill-popping woman who visits a remote garish mansion to discuss structural renovations but gets tangled up in murder and romance - no party as the title implies. Voices come out of nowhere; cell phones don't work; there are long-standing family feuds. Certain elements of the plot left me puzzled: the main character claims to have claustrophobia but builds a tent she enters without having a panic attack. Also, she throws pills into a fish pond (I guess to see if the pills were poisonous). Because the script mentions Agatha Christie, several of her plots came to mind, making me wonder if the dead man was really dead and also if the youngster of the family had something to do with that death. There is long nerve wracking action involving bows and arrows. I wanted to like this movie but in the end, I just couldn't and don't recommend it, pretty as it looked, colorful as it was. MAIS NON!
