I'm awake at 3 am here in lovely Las Vegas, and they have chosen to show this particular *piece* of "American Cinema" on AMC. Is this a classic? I think not. Let's see... a piñata... that kills fraternity and sorority kids... on an island. If you decide to watch it knowing this, which I didn't, you really need to be at least two sheets to the wind. Sadly, I'm not, so it's really not all that entertaining except for the fact that a piñata, with the heart of a pig, is killing college kids. Don't waste one second of your life on this disaster if you actually cherish your time on this Earth. Seriously. What really baffles me is that they put it on AMC. Does that not stand for American Movie Classics? This must be a joke, right? What did the Programming Director smoke before he, or she, decided to add this to the lineup? Probably the same stuff the college kids did in this movie.

It wasn't bad. According to the film stats listed, it was supposed to be a b/w movie, so I guess the version I saw was colorized. I haven't seen any other versions, or read the entire book for that matter, so I guess I don't have a basis for comparison.
