looking for simular movie


Years ago I watched a movie that was filmed on stage. There were 4 acts with the camera set behind the audience. People came to the mansion for a weekend getaway. That night it rained and the bridge to the island went out. They were stuck and dying off one by one. One death was the chandeler dropping on the person. Another was a blow gun being used thru the center piece. Any ideas? It was a good who dunnit movie and I would like to see it again.

Sorry, I cannot answer the question, but I'm intrigued. It seems really interesting!

I don't know where you live, but this sounds like maybe something you'd see on PBS, like Masterpiece Theater or American Playhouse.

If you're really wanting to find it, I have a suggestion. Try posting your question at Ask Metafilter. Super obscure things like this are their specialty. No promises, mind you, but the odds are bit higher that you'll find out what you want.

You can see some of my obscure book questions there. I'm magnoliasouth: http://www.metafilter.com/user/63653.

I should warn you that it costs $5 to sign up, but that's minor to get cool answers. Think Ask Yahoo (et al) but 1,000 times better. The $5 is only a one time fee and is solely designed to pay for the site and stop spam.

Thanks, I will try that.

I don't know which film you mean, but one similar movie is The Ninth Guest (1934), in which a group of people are called to a party in a penthouse suite and they start to get murdered, one by one.
