When legendary hunter Bob Rainsford is shipwrecked on the perilous reefs surrounding a mysterious island, he finds himself the guest of the reclusive and eccentric Count Zaroff. While he is very gracious at first, Zaroff eventually forces Rainsford and two other shipwreck survivors, brother and sister Eve and Martin Towbridge, to participate in a sadistic game of cat and mouse in which they are the prey and he is the hunter.

It's well done for the time, but the pacing and expanded cast do damage to the tone and tension the short story builds up.

Never thought a movie from 1932 would make me this engaged but this proved me wrong

A little good compared to modern action and thriller but very good story and idea. Love the inspiration this generated

Compelling thriller despite the acting being dated.

Not terrible. As a huge fan of the short story, I think every change made diminished the feelings of isolation and terror of the original.

Watched it in high school. An ok flick. Pretty true to its source material. Don’t hunt people for sport, kids.
