Zombie Island Massacre (1984)

A group of tourists on an island in the Caribbean take a bus trip to attend a voodoo ceremony.  Once the ceremony is over, the group heads back to the bus where they find the driver has disappeared and their bus won't start. 

The tour guide heads off to a pay phone down the road but never returns.  A newlywed couple who went off into the bushes ends up murdered and the remaining group decides to head off to a mansion that one remembers seeing on the way in.  

This leads to more murders by unseen people in the woods who one would assume are zombies due to the title of the film.  However the name is misleading as the only zombie in the movie is the one at the voodoo ceremony and there is a lame twist ending.  

Of note is the appearance of Rita Jenrette, who appeared in Playboy and whose Congressman husband was involved in a scandal that landed him in jail.
