Ten apparently unrelated strangers are invited to a remote hotel in the desert, where it transpires that they all have a hidden past and then they start getting killed off one by one. This version of the Agatha Christie novel has a good cast but is very stilted in its acting and direction. However the setting in a lavish desert hotel does lift the film as the sets and the visuals add to the suspense. Although quite why one of the women needs a fur coat in the hot desert is a mystery. This was an international c0-production hence the international cast.
