Two pious sisters run a guesthouse, but struggle quite a bit with the changed morals: topless sunbathing, miniskirts, unmarried mothers. The second victim turns out to be actually Dutch!
It seems to drag on a bit too long, but the resolution still manages to pick up the pace, although the thriller element could have been utilized a little more. The sisters themselves take up most of the screen time, but fortunately remain believable characters.

I agree with the review by alexspyforever
The film's strongest asset is the two sisters, one meaner than the other. Unfortunately, the kills are soft and the story remains somewhat superficially developed. The tourist investigating a missing person lacks charisma. It could have had a bit more punch. I found the ending to be a letdown. 5/10
