Based on a true story, The Ghost and the Darkness takes place in Africa during the late 1890s and concerns two ferocious lions who killed 130 railroad construction workers in only two months. A pair of courageous men, no-nonsense engineer John Patterson (Val Kilmer) and rugged hunter Charles Remington (Michael Douglas), set out to shoot the creatures, known as the Ghost and the Darkness.

Like a nature documentary gone terribly wrong. This movie filled me with a genuine sense of dread and respect for these lions. Mostly dread however, and I am glad they are long dead... and Ill probably never set foot on Africa. Enjoy, I did. Read and rate it
