SYNOPSIS:A demented zoologist dispenses of his amorous wife's lovers in a number of unsettling ways in this grisly and perverse Pre-Code horror thriller that was quite shocking for its time. The movie is dominated by Lionel Atwill's superb performance as the sadistic zoo owner and features stunning cinematography by seven-time Oscar nominee Ernest Haller. Charlie Ruggles, Randolph Scott, and Gail Patrick co-star.

  | Bill | | I have a sense that most of the good Universal Horror pictures have been available for quite some time. This film is part of a relatively new five film set, called Universal Cult Horror Collection. I present this collection as my proof. That said, Murders in the Zoo is pretty good. We have four "names" in the cast, Randolph Scott, Gail Patrick, the wonderful Charles Ruggles and Lionel Atwill. The zoo backdrop was inspired and seeing society dressed up and dining with the animals was a hoot. If Bride of Chucky is your style, don't bother with this, but if you want a sense of the horror films in the 30s I recommend it. |
