Pinata: Survival Island aka Demon Island isn't as bad as most people think. The special effects indeed were exaggerated and took away from what the movie could've been without it but it definitely added some chilling and frightening moments. Also, the fact of a Pinata killing demon shouldn't be frowned and laughed upon- heck we had a killer doll with Chucky and at least the Pinata has a creative idea with the sins of the tribe's past. And to add to the film's pluses, the characters of the movie joked about the idea of a killer Pinata, even Tina (Jamie Pressly) so it's not like the Pinata killer was taken too seriously like Chucky and other murdering things were. The story is very original and believable. There is some cheese in it all but its all fun. I throughougly enjoyed my first viewing of this movie on DVD and I will definitely see it again. Jamie Pressly looks gorgeous and Nicholas Brendon (from Buffy) takes the main character role and plays it wonderfully. If there is to be a sequel, which there should be, I will be the first in line to buy the movie tickets at the theater.
