Review of The Ghost and the Darkness (1996) by Jude P — 10 Jul 2018
The ghost and the darkness is based on the Tsavo lions- two lions in the late 19th century who stopped the construction of a river bridge in Africa because they enjoyed feeding on the workers. The film is not bad but somewhat inaccurate but the Lion sequences are really good.
Michael Douglas-who also produced the film- wrote a character for himself which doesn't really add much to the film and Val Kilmer as the main lead isn't really all that, even keeping in mind he is playing a real character.
Regardless the African scenery and the lion scenes are great. (A harrowing film based on a real event).
