The classic story was written in 1924 and turned into a horror gem in 1932 by the same people who brought you King Kong. Joel McCrea is a young hunter who is shipwrecked on an island inhabited by Leslie Banks as a madman who likes to hunt humans.
Gorgeous Fay Wray is another person trapped on the island and soon both her and McCrea find themselves being hunted like wild animals.
This was considered a shocking film in it's day, and it still holds up well today. Wray looks simply sexy as hell and some of the jungle sets were reused when Kong was filmed a year later. One of the best horror films around and good for Halloween scares.
For lovers of movies from the silent era to modern day with an emphasis on horror, sci-fi, exploitation, WIP, westerns and anything of the fantastic and bizarre.
