Movie Review-- Ghost in the Darkness

The Ghost and the Darkness



Genre: Suspense/Action



Summary: A bridge builder for the British African Railway is interrupted by man-eating lions in 1900s Kenya (Based on a True Story).



My Grade: %96


Pros:

• Quite a story, in fiction and in reality. The original Col. Patterson (bridge-builder) detailed his experiences in The Man-Eaters of Tsavo.
• Filming of all scenes with the lion is amazing, especially for the early 90's.
• "Iceman" does well against lions, as does Michael Douglas.
• Samuel

Cons:

• The gore of the lion attacks tends to cut down on potential audiences, especially my wife
• Though a great addition to story, Remington was not actually there.
• A torturous dream scene of Patterson's wife and kid being mauled
