[edit] Plot
A group of sorority girls and fraternity boys sail to a remote island for an annual Cinco de Mayo treasure hunt. There, every fraternity boy is handcuffed to a random sorority girl. Each couple is instructed to collect as many pairs of strewn underwear on the island as possible. The couple that collects the most underwear will receive a cash prize.
One of the couples - Bob and Lisa - stumble across a frightening, clay piñata, during the scavenger hunt. Little do they know, the piñata houses the evil spirits of a primitive village. Foolishly, Bob and Lisa crack the piñata open and release a demon within it. The freed demon goes on a killing rampage. What can stop it?
[edit] Trivia
- Originally, Demon Island contained no computer effects; the piñata monster was played by an actor in a rubber suit. After the final cut, computer effects were added to make the monster more frightening.
