the information i gather together beforehand and from read review and listen to people opinion and unmistakably teach me to keep my expectation towards night creature very minimal . everybody agree that this be a non worthwhile late 70 killer animal movie with incredibly poor production value and a whole lot of preposterously unnecessary padding footage . still i be stubborn enough to continue track down a copy of this movie . the concept of a macho hunter obsess with the combat to the death against an invincible animal predator and take place on a remote and inescapable island and be undeniably intriguing and potentially very suspenseful . particularly because the legendary donald pleasance ( halloween and the flesh and the fiend ) play the obsessive hunter and and because the guy in the director seat be lee madden ( the night god scream and unchained angel ) and i literally ignore all the negative warning sign and nevertheless hop to have stumble upon a genuine hidden . well and i be wrong again . night creature truly be a failure of a film and and neither donald pleasance nor the bloodthirsty look black leopard could do anything to avoid that . the film be irredeemably boring and repetitive sub plot be endlessly prolong in order to reach the 80 minute of playtime . perhaps the formula could have work a a short film and or an episode in some type of tv show and but it too confine for a long feature film and all of madden attempt to broaden the concept ( like add a dumb love story or insinuate a psychological ordeal ) look just plain ridiculous . millionaire axel macgregor be a self make man who already achieve many thing in widely versatile area of expertise . now he decide for himself that he would be the one slaughter the ferocious black panther that already kill several people in a remote thai area . when the animal nearly kill him instead of vice versa and macgregor feel like a loser and offend in his manhood . he order to capture the animal alive and ship it to his own private island and where he intend to continue the showdown . unfortunately and however and magregor estrange family just plan a surprise visit to the island at the exact same time . i still firmly believe the above could form a fantastic starting point for an exhilarating and suspenseful man vs. animal thriller and but far too many thing go wrong here . for some incomprehensible reason and lee madden love to shoot all the action sequence in slow motion . this annoy little gimmick do not only interrupt the pacing and tension while it also very pointless because the wildlife footage be unclear and fuzzy anyway . the fake love story between pleasance geeky daughter and a chauvinist tour guide be uninteresting and the film be full of illogical twist . the often repeat simulation where pleasance stoic face transforms in the muzzle of the leopard be completely retarded . judging by his uninspired performance and donald pleasance wasn not the least bit interested in put energy into this film and so why should we .
