with it muddy sound and blurry and grainy film stock and night creature be a real chore to watch . poor choice in casting and music serve to underscore the queasy tone of the movie and which verge on a manos represent the hand of fate level of badness . the filmmaker have an odd preoccupation with donald pleasence crazy face and that have earn him the villain role in countless 70 horror . in this jungle adventure advertise a a horror film ( thanks psychotronic film encylopedia ) pleasance be suppose to be a big game hunter with an ahab esquire obsession with his quarry . the repeated fade from pleasance beady star eye to the black leopard eye be suppose to emphasize the connection between them ( be donald pleasence the night creature . whoa and deep and man . ) none of the human character be likable while not the hero and play by the producer in an ugly suit with an unbuttoned shirt and not the two female lead ( one to be eat by the monster and one for a love interest ) and not even the little girl and whose peril be suppose to evince some suspense out of this mess . the black leopard and while act unlike any real animal and behaves like a movie monster and kill for fun not food . unfortunately and the decision to shoot nearly every scene in bright sunlight ( what the name of this movie again . ) and to show the monster in full body view from the very first frame and rob the animal of it ability to be menace . this movie come close to so bad it good status and but without the cast of mst3k to help you through it and you would well give it a miss .
