I remember this telemovie from way back when.
Basic plot, five women are vacationing on a remote island getaway. There are two men, Bradford Dillman and Robert Conrad.
Julie Sommars, I recall the name of Mary Grace, first befriends a poor unfortunate dog and, true to tradition, as in "Horror at 37000 Feet" and "Race With the Devil", the dog meets a deadly fate.
Eventually Mary Grace herself is murdered as well. The remaining ladies must ponder who the killer could be, Dillman or Conrad.
I remember wondering after the death of Mary Grace, why was it still Five Desperate Women?
The dear women almost escaped one night, only to be standing on the dock in stark terror as their escape vessle exploded, lighting up the night sky.
In the end, one of the women, the blonde, is wooed and romanced by Conrad, who tells the frightened girls that Dillman must be the killer.
But things are not as they seem, it seems. The killer is attempting to strangle the blonde as the other three women are striving to stop him. Finally, Denise Nicholas picks up that nice rock and manages to get the job done.
With two women hysterical (one from killing and the other from almost being killed) the last two dears must assist their friends as the ending credits roll.
Not a feminist movie, more of a victimizing film. Certainly not a 'women fight back' film.
