Evil Under The Sun sounds so ominous, like a older horror film but in fact it's a sunny, bright, sparkling film with an international cast.
If you've seen Death on Nile and liked it then this would be enjoyable. Certainly much more entertaining than Murder on the Orient Express. The characters here are much more entertaining, especially Dianna Rigg, who plays the glamorous, snooty bitch.
It is engaging after everyone is settled on the island and it did hold my attention. I would say that the most unappealing component of the film is the soundtrack which is distracting in several scenes. Almost big band-like music in scenes where someone is walking! I almost got the feeling the music was celebrating a loud outfit worn by Maggie Smith. Clothing is a big deal in this film. The costumes are as entertaining as some of the characters. Even Roddy McDowell is attired in colorful outfits here.
All in all, not bad. I think most people will enjoy it.
