Surprisingly dark, with a few deaths that I really did not see coming. Atwill's having the time of his life.

Lionel, Tigers and Bears, oh my! Features sex, sadism, real animal attacks and grisly murders. Kathleen Burke also brings a certain intensity to her role as well. A concise plot with a cold blooded execution. Recommend.

This pre-Code film infuriated several state censor boards, reportedly resulting in a multitude of reedited versions playing in different theaters. The best line, meanwhile, belongs to Atwill, when he protests, "You don't think I just sat there with an eight-foot mamba in my pocket!" A thought that surely would have tickled Mae West's fancy (to speak only of her fancy).

Refreshingly nasty pre-Code horror film. Not for kids, even today
