Island of the Dolls

by Jeremy Bates

Overview

Deep within an ancient Aztec canal system on the outskirts of Mexico City lies Isla de las Munecas...a reportedly haunted island infested with thousands of decrepit dolls.

While there to film a television documentary, several friends discover a brutal murder. Soon fear and paranoia turn them against one another-even as the unknown killer stalks them throughout the longest night of their lives.
