1974 ·1h 38m · ★ 5.7 (112)

Ten people are invited to a hotel in the Iranian desert, only to find that an unseen person is killing them one by one. Could one of them be the killer?

Why it matters

A claustrophobic whodunit transplanted to the sun-scorched Iranian desert, where paranoia and suspense simmer under a relentless sun.

  • A rare Agatha Christie adaptation that ditches the mansion for barren isolation, amplifying the psychological pressure cooker.
  • Features a stellar cast—Oliver Reed, Richard Attenborough, Elke Sommer—struggling to elevate a script that sometimes stumbles under its own weight.
  • Bruno Nicolai’s score and Fernando Arribas’ cinematography bring an eerie elegance to the desert setting, a striking backdrop for creeping dread.
  • For mystery and classic suspense fans craving a vintage locked-room puzzle with a sun-bleached twist, though expect some uneven pacing.
