bad kitties with an attitude and on a rampage
Cats have very distinctive nature. Every kind of cat has predatory
instinct. When you are up against some one big as a lion, the odds are
very against you. In the late 1800 its a story based on actual event
regarding 2 man eaters of tsavo in Africa, who made a havoc but a great
terrifying ordeal among the hearts of African and Indian slaves working
under the command of imperial British empire in there. This story
reveals when they were constructing a railway line out there 2 adult
grown male lions stalked and killed so many of them. The surprising
part of the events is that its not only the hunger which drives them
berserk. They are doing it for fun and sport. They have a passion for
killing humans and than castrating and smashing their corpses. Moreover
they knew what traps are awaiting them. Also they know which men are at
their trail. They know how to avoid them and what time to openly go
head on head with them. Val kilmer starred as Col Jhon Patterson the
British officer and engineer in charge of railway line and Michael
Douglas Starred as Remington , an adventurer hitch hiker and
professional hunter. I believe it was an excellent combination both
actors. Both of them are my favorites. Along with them the other
combination was of the lions Bongo and Cesar , i really acknowledge
their work as a team and co-operation for making of this film. I heard
a quote from a movie , When a man and a beast taste each others blood
they both become the same thing. Maybe it was the case of lion because
the way they were so brutal , no beast can go to that extant. If you
watch this film you see in the early minutes of the film that they were
not the lions killing people around there. Before them there was a
single one killed by col Patterson but he was not that much clever and
aggressive , while the most strongest black man was killed by the lions
the doctor in charge of the autopsy at 1st couldn't believe that it was
a lion's job, he had experience of such fatalities before but not like
this one. When Val kilmer and Micheal Douglas joined hands to end their
killing spree , the lions changed their strategy of hunting. There fear
was so much powerful nobody could even breath properly in that
environment. The most terrifying parts are in the movie when they
attack the camp in day light killing and half devouring a man also
killing the British deputy of Patterson in self defense , than dodging
both men and attacking the hospital where patients were being treated.
If you watch the movie don't let yourself being hateful towards the big
cats. As a matter of fact they have never threatened us so much as we
have massacred them and destructed their habitats. Man has proved a far
more greatest Nemesis to beasts and even its own kind. I always love
and admire the cats of all kinds. I believe they must be protected and
conserved as its their right. Well if the film is concerned its going
to be classic. A real but wonderful wild life epic..

I have been searching this movie for a long time.
Great Idea, Lousy Movie
`The Ghost and the Darkness' is a movie overflowing with promise . . . but,
ultimately, it fails to even remotely deliver on that promise. Set in the
late nineteenth century, it's the story Colonel John Henry Patterson (Val
Kilmer) man hired to supervise the building of a bridge in British-colonial
Africa. Upon arriving in Africa, Patterson learns that the bridge must be
built within five months – his supervisor (and the man formerly in charge of
building the bridge), Beaumont (Tom Wilkinson), has set this unreasonable
deadline just so Patterson will fail. Undaunted by this challenge, Patterson
pushes on, and actually enjoys a slight amount of success, until some native
workers are mauled to death by a lion. The native workers believe that the
lion is a spirit sent to punish the British, but Patterson believe that the
lion is just an old male lion that has been kicked out of its pride, left to
die of old age. To shut the natives, up, Patterson hires one of the greatest
game hunters living in Africa, Charles Remington (Michael Douglas), to kill
the beast. Remington hunts down the lion, but finds that he's not after one
decrepit old lion, but two young, vicious male lions that hunt as a team. A
game of hunter versus hunted ensues between Remington, Patterson, and the
killer lions, and the twists and turns that ensue are often quite
entertaining.

Unfortunately, the movie is usually only interesting when the lions are
present. The first third of the movie, setting up the conflict between man
and beast, drags along at a painfully slow rate. Val Kilmer is woefully
miscast as Patterson, coming across as spoiled and ineffective instead of as
a man desperately struggling against the odds. Michael Douglas' performance
as Remington, while entertaining, was cartoonish and out of place with the
rest of the film. The character of Remington would've benefited greatly
from either being toned down or from a reduction in screen
time.

Ultimately, the lions are the true stars of the film. The scenes where they
attack, or where Remington and Patterson are forced to prepare for an
attack, are gritty and suspenseful. The animatronic lions created by Stan
Winston are unbelievably good – watching their eyes focus on their prey in
the African twilight is chilling, to say the least. Also, once the lions
had been established as a real threat, they could be used to create menace
in a scene without even being there. But the lions are supposed to be the
villains, not the whole movie, and as such `The Ghost and the Darkness'
fails miserably.

There's a few scenes that are fantastic, but for the most part, this film's
a boring mess. If you're going to watch it, get the DVD, so you can skip
ahead to the good scenes and save yourself from a good hour of terminal
boredom. C-.
