The Most Dangerous Game / USA / 1932

My Most Dangerous Game evening concluded, appropriately, with the exceptional film that started it all. Big game hunter Robert Rainsford is shipwrecked on an island, takes refuge in the home of Count Zaroff, meets the alluring Eve Trowbridge, and discovers she is to be the prize in an ensuing hunt—with him as the game. Perhaps I should have screened the original first, instead of Escape 2000, but after immersing myself in the latter’s outlandish sci-fi set up, copious amounts of gore, and gratuitous violence (and loving every minute), it was refreshing to fall back fifty years to a cinematic era capable of telling a gripping story with such little fanfare.
