After surviving a shipwreck in reefs not signalized in the maritime charts, the famous hunter Rober "Bob" Rainsford (Joel McCrea) is lodged by the Russian hunter Count Zaroff (Leslie Banks) in his castle in an isolated island. Bob meets Eve Trowbridge (Fay Wray) and her brother Martin Trowbridge (Robert Armstrong) also survivors of another wrecked vessel and hosted by Zaroff. Sooner, Bob and Eve find that they are part of a hunting game plotted by the insane Zarof where they are the chase, and they have to escape and survive until the next morning to Zaroff and his hounds.
Definitely a film that I'd put up there with the likes of King Kong or anything else. Leslie Banks was terrific as Count Zaroff. A little short with a runtime of only 63 minutes, but every minute is worth it. If you've never seen this film or have enjoyed the short story which it's based on, get your hands on a copy of this picture. You won't be disappointed!
