I'm a little late since this was for movie night, but it's been a week. I might not remember everything quite right. This movie had an ape in it, so I was a bit excited.
An explorer plunders a temple and is cursed by a priest. He brings back a woman, and they hide in plain sight. The investors in his expedition track him down, and they want their share of the loot. But they're going to have to overcome the curse!
This movie was interesting enough. The woman in it was weird, as usual, but she made some pretty poor decisions. My favorite character was poor, downtrodden Horatio. I feel like the ape wasn't very efficient, though. He was supposed to be trained to insta-kill when the drums play, but he failed a few times.
I feel like this movie tried to follow Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932). My favorite apeman, Erik, is still the undisputed champion. This movie didn't really do anything to set it apart from all the others, and I'm still not sure how Chanda handled everything. The drums, the ape and the incense were all a lot. I suppose she could've set up the incense, but what if the person didn't stay still? Oh, never mind...
