Dive into the heart of Africa with this gripping true-story thriller that feels like Jaws on the savanna! Val Kilmer stars as engineer John Patterson, sent to build a bridge in 1898 Kenya, only for two merciless man-eating lions—dubbed “The Ghost” and “The Darkness”—to turn the camp into a nightmare, slaughtering workers left and right. Enter Michael Douglas as the rugged big-game hunter Remington, bringing firepower and swagger to the hunt.

The tension is relentless: shadowy stalks through tall grass, roaring ambushes, and edge-of-your-seat traps that keep you guessing who’s hunting whom. Jerry Goldsmith’s pounding score amps up the primal fear, while those vast African landscapes shot by Vilmos Zsigmond are pure eye candy. It’s old-school adventure with real bite—thrilling, bloody, and oddly mesmerizing, proving nature doesn’t play fair. A underrated ’90s gem that roars louder than most!
