Jungle Captive

	Jungle Captive
	by Universal Studios Sales Rank: 12904 Price: $14.98

I�m sorry. I hate to say it, because I am a Universal Monsters junkie. But this is the nadir of Universal�s horror output. It is much more like a PRC cheapie than one from Universal. A budget slightly bigger than PRC might have employed is evident, but hardly anything monster-related happens until the last five minutes. And then it�s a predictable 'so-what?'. Jungle Captive is something of a police procedural, when it doesn�t just consist of IOWA (Idiots Out Wandering Around). The cast includes no one of note, which also hurts a great deal. Rondo Hatton as a movie�s marquee draw is not the stuff of which Hollywood classics are made. So we are left with the pulchritude of Vicki Lane (prettier even than Acquanetta but without even her acting abilities), and she is covered in black fur sometimes (but not often, and not until late). Jungle Captive's molasses-like narrative is beyond the capacity of her finely-formed features to save. There were problems with each of the first two movies in the Ape Woman trilogy (Captive Wild Woman�s stock footage and Jungle Woman�s leaps in logic and inability to better copy Lewton�s formula), but they retain a great deal of silly charm all the same. This one is just plain dull. Horror was for all intents and purposes dead and buried, until the nuclear age spawned new terrors for damsels to be carried off by. (Woo-hoo!! Giant spiders!!!) (Did I use enough parentheses in this review?) P.S. I'm really very sorry. Please don't revoke my Universal Monsters Club Card. *Viewer Reviews* I am a big fan of the ape woman movies Captive Wild Woman, Jungle Woman, and Jungle Captive. This time Acquanetta is absent from the monkeying around... but we get Rondo!! I love these movies! Back To Top
