Leave your thoughts about The Gorilla.
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.A short and sweet horror comedy that garners a few laughs, and some fun horror tropes. |
| User ReviewAngelina DThis movie attempted to catch lightning in a bottle by scoring both Bela Lugosi and the Ritz Brothers. However, this movie fails in every way possible. The comedy is heavy handed and clumsy, the suspense is boring. Despite all these minuses, I find it charming. |
| User ReviewGary CThe Gorilla gives viewers a perfect blend of suspense, classic horror, and Ritz Brothers unique brand of comedy. Bela Lugosi once again shows his range as a horror icon in this quirky romp. I recommend this film to all old fashion horror enthusiasts. |
| User ReviewJas AI Love this movie...campy horror ...well is it really a horror...more suspense! The Ritz Brothers are a HoOT...very popular at the time ...Please remember this movie was released in 1939... Ahhh what a time that must of been...lastly...the Real Dracula stars also...well not as Dracula .... ?? |
| User Reviewallison sThis is hilarious...such a cutesy halloween movie! |
| User ReviewAj VBela Lugosi stars as a creepy butler in this old dark house horror/comedy featuring a mad monkey and a Three Stooges wanna-be trio (the Ritz Brothers). The scares are mostly light-hearted as the tale twists and turns while we learn of who the killer is and who the different folk that keep arriving throughout the night fit into the mystery. Could have been better with the actual Three Stooges or even re-written for a duo like Abbott & Costello, but its still surely recommended for fans of those comedy groups and their ilk |
| User ReviewBrian WThis film was far more then I expected. From the Sons of Kong 10 Movie Collection, Here I thought it would be another Jungle movie filmed before 1940 a copy cat of the so many others in that time frame. I was so wrong, what you have here is a Mystery / Comedy. Its enjoyable to say the least. There is a 3 man comedy team in this one that is right up there with the three stooges, just very surprised I never saw more of these three. There are people being murdered in the city and the blame seems to fall on a gorilla, but is he really the one. 4 Stars for this one, quite high for a film from 1939 |
| User ReviewRoy CThe Three Stooges meet Abbott and Costello for a crime caper/murder mystery. This is a cheap imitation, but it is funny and has Bela Legosi as a plus. |
| User ReviewWes SIt's a lot of fun and the characters are decent but the 3 comedy detectives feel unnecessary to the story beyond being comic relief. It's still pretty interesting and a fun film to watch. |
| User ReviewOrlok WEnjoyable Enough Romp--A great little slapstick knock about!! |
