Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

ala-49478 This is a must see classic for all who love classic films. In a time when big game sport was the top most sport for the elite this movie was ahead of its time by giving audiences the view of the hunted. The question on the boat asking how you would feel if you were the animal being hunted says it all. If you don't know what the movie is about you would venture at this point to guess that it is about a crazed man who has lost the thrill of hunting animals so he takes it to another level by hunting people. He sets up traps in the sea to catch his prey, like a true hunter. Then game on! I would love to see this gem remade... I'm curious how different the public would react since big game hunting is now so controversial.

writers_reign Speaking for myself I remember Leslie Banks mostly as Chorus in the 1945 film version of Henry V, a role that is light years away from his barking host in this remake of the 1916 silent Hounds of Zaroff. If you're anything like a regular movie-goer chances are you've seen one of the several versions of this off-the-wall thriller which features 1) a remote island covered in jungle, 2) an improbably imposing 'castle' which lacks for nothing in respect of food, wine, clothing and even runs to a grand piano, all of which defy the logistics of actually getting them there, 3) a suitably looney-tune running the place, a slightly unbalanced Russian Count, Zaroff by name whose idea of after-dinner charades is to turn his guests loose with a 12- hour start and then hunt them down literally, with bow and arrow, high-powered hunting rifle and, if all else fails, a pack of hounds. Leslie Sands chews up everything in sight as Zaroff while Joel McCrea and Fay Wray are intrepid as his latest prey. At getting on for 85 years old this still grips.

Dalbert Pringle If you ask me, I think that the decidedly deranged Count Zaroff seriously needed to chill, big-time, and, with that, find himself some cute, little boy-toy to play around with and just put all of the mad zest for the sport of the hunt right out of his head.(I mean, c'mon, man! Give it a rest, already!) Even though I'd say that this somewhat stilted moldie-oldie (from 1932) had plenty of potential, it, unfortunately, also left a whole lot to be desired.Regardless of its surprisingly brief 63-minute running time, this Adventure/Thriller noticeably dragged its ass in a number of crucial scenes. And, with that, I'd say that a good 15 minutes edited from its story would have benefited the sluggish pace of the action, immensely.This tall tale of "cat & mouse" also contained some really unconvincing violence that, often enough, had me hooting with laughter. Believe me, regardless of some expensive-looking sets, this 82-year-old early-talkie certainly hasn't aged very well, at all.

AaronCapenBanner Leslie Banks stars as Count Zaroff, who is a mad hunter living on an isolated island. He likes to hunt any human being unfortunate enough to come ashore, and even has a trophy room where he displays his gruesome kills. A new quarry comes ashore when luxury cruise ship survivor Bob Rainesford(played by Joel McCrea) is at first welcomed, where he meets fellow castaways Eve(played by Fay Wray) and her brother Martin(played by Robert Armstrong), but will soon be shocked to find themselves in a life and death struggle with Zaroff in his jungle lair. Surprisingly potent film holds up well today. Plot may be obvious but acting and direction is solid, making this an effective, thought-provoking adventure.
