Directed by Irving Pichel & Ernest B. Schoedsack
Cold, sadistic, and bitterly ironic, this movie was ahead of its time as well as a timeless commentary on the brutal nature of man. Count Zaroff makes for an effective villain; a "civilized" man who has discovered a new prey and method of hunting to satisfy his animal urges. No time is wasted here, sending you straight into the story without hesitation. Short, but in no need of further fleshing-out of its story or characters, this movie says what it needs to say, and ends far before it wears out its welcome.
★★★★★★★☆☆☆
