Based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Carolyn Hart, which is in itself inspired by the Agatha Christie's masterful mystery/thriller novel called 'And Then There Were None' (1939), 'Dead Man's Island' features an entertaining 'whodunnit' story starring the charismatic and lovely Barbara Eden as Henry 'O', William Shatner, and Southern belles Morgan Fairchild and Traci Lords. Traci Lord's acting was mediocre at best, but she was definitely stunning.
I did not really appreciate the ending, however. Without spoiling anything, I think that the story could have gone in a different direction, I think that it was slightly exaggerated.

One of the best films I have seen. I can understand people's comments about clichéd themes, but the acting is great. It has beautiful scenery, and a good plot. I have been trying to get it on video, but, obviously, is not available. I believe it is an enigmatic, atmospheric film with great music and attitude. Fabulous!

A fine movie with a rather unusual plot. William Shatner who plays Chase Prescott , a man with a business empire is very well cast. Barbara Eden as his designated detective is excellent and very convincing. It seems that everyone on the island except Barbara Eden (Henri O) is suspected of trying to murder him. Many mysterious occurrences makes the viewer wonder what is going to happen next. Henri O (Barbara Eden) as the detective is also in great jeopardy. William Shatner and especially Barbara Eden are very convincing. As in all her movies Barbara is always in control and courageous.
William Shatner is a millionaire convinced someone is trying to kill him and Barbara Eden is a journalist and an old girlfriend of his trying to solve the mystery on a creepy island mansion. Whodunit plows along and some secrets from his past add to confusion. Ending surprises but somewhat disappoints, too. The underemployed stars playing the parts help keep it watchable. An Indian giving boat rides also mentions a little history behind the real Dead Man's Island in Vancouver.
