Elaine’s business venture as the new owner of "Honeymoon Island" goes awry as soon as the three couples venture onto the resort. In no time at all, bodies begin to pile up, but the county’s bumbling sheriff spends his days eating, smoking cigars and adamantly refusing to investigate the goings on.

Cohen, 1982

This Valentine’s Day, why not treat your date to a showing of “The Curious Dr. Humpp?” Of course, make sure your date loves retro-sleaze and doesn’t mind bad dubbing and naked hippies.
