Movie Reviews

New York Daily News - 8/10 by Kate CameronIn the case of Oboler's film, the story is, for once, not the most important thing about it. Rather, the manner in which it is presented becomes of prime interest.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzWill be remembered as the first full-length film in 3-D, otherwise deserves to be forgotten.
User Review - 8/10 by Jeff SI gave the movie a good rating for even attempting to tell this fantastic true story and for keeping a few elements of the original; story in...unlike the Ghost and the Darkness which is a joke as to historical accuracy.. 1952 was a different cinematic time, but today, the movie itself is no more than a dull absurdity. (Really missing Hedy Lamarr or even here.) No one seems to have a clue as to how to tell this story...or write a script, act, edit. Having found and read the book this movie is very loosely based on, the true story is a magnificent saga that is best left unaltered, however this era of Hollywood was rather careless with any story, and to alter even one sentence of Patterson's great work is criminal. My words would be useless to convey the true magnitude of the ACTUAL event as told by the person who was there, namely Patterson, The lions who killed around 40 people before they were killed by Patterson, were like supernatural monsters from a Hollywood Horror flick in their ability to prey on the railroad workers, natives, and others. Imagine the most horrific predatory monster you have ever seen in a movie and I guarantee it will not come close to the real story. Maybe Michael Cimino could have pulled it off...but I'm feeling Kevin Costner...oh well. Read JH Patterson "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo". It's awe inspiring... As if anyone still reads books anymore.

User Review - 4/10 by Greg WPretty bland African adventure B-movie. Despite being one of the first films shot in 3-D, it's incredibly light on any kind of visual spectacle, with some very poorly incorporated stock footage. It's also light on energy and compelling storytelling. Even a handful of cheesy, over the top moments aren't enough to make it entertaining.
