The Ghost And The Darkness, I always found this to be an outstanding based-on a true story adventure film that holds your interest throughout. It features some great suspense and the story is fascinating. It’s always been ranked among my top 50 movies. A good surround system doesn’t hurt here, either. Stan Winston, one of the best special-effects men in the business, lent his talents to this film while Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas are more than adequate in the starring roles and the African with the freckles (sorry, I don’t have his name) is really a likable fellow. Except for the first one, the lion attack scenes are not gruesome and the filmmakers did a nice job having just the right amount of action and lulls. Neither is overdone. This film has never been given much due but I’ve never shown it to anyone who didn’t thoroughly enjoy it. This movie scared me so much I stopped hunting lions. It’s just not fun anymore.

Something You Can Sink Your Teeth Into
A success in originality, storytelling, and terror.
The Ghost and the Darkness is an excellent film. It has the ingredients of a landmark movie. The story is based on fact. There was a bridge being built in Tsavo in 1898. There were two man-eating lions there who killed 130 people for no reason. And I believe there was something more behind the intentions of these lions. Evil can and does exist anywhere. Undoubtedly in humans, and, probably more than we’ll ever know, in animals. The Ghost and the Darkness is a reminder how vulnerable we are to nature’s fury, and that we should never under-estimate the potential of any animal.
In closing, I’ll say that this movie is perfectly directed, superbly scored, and beautifully filmed, and to the adventurous and open-minded viewer, a movie with lasting satisfying and chilling effects.
