@GunnerGale omg another underrated classic ❤️🔥
@GunnerGale hmm, they don't look very big and kind of like lionesses.
@GunnerGale One of my absolute favorite films! I went to the @FieldMuseum specifically to visit this exhibit after seeing the film.
@GunnerGale Just watched "The UnXplained" on Netflix and the episode "Serial Killer Creatures" covered the Tsavo lions. Was wondering if "The Ghost and the Darkness" was based on it. Cool. Scientific reasons in show were offered for the killings but still terrifying.
@GunnerGale I remember coming face to face with them and I wasn't ready for those chills
@GunnerGale One of my all time favorites. Stacked cast, awesome setting, stunning cinematography, killer lions (with real lions/minimal puppetry) and it’s written by William Goldman. Growing up in Chicago it was pretty awesome to see the actual killers of Tsavo.
@GunnerGale I have always held that film in high regard—less as a piece of history than as an incredible bit of suspense filmmaking.
@GunnerGale This film scared the ever living shat outta me when I watched it on VHS, I was about…10/11? This and Jurassic Park tapped into my primordial terror of being hunted and eaten. Still one of the only things that scares me to my bones.
@GunnerGale I was ecstatic when Shout Factory put out the blu during the pandemic.
