Black Zoo - DVD

The most savage animal in a garden of beasts, animal#45-worship cultist and private zoo owner Michael Conrad #40-Michael Gough#41- has trained his lions well, siccing the big cats on any fool who dares get in his way. First it was a snoopy secretary, then a scheming realtor #40-Jerome Cowan#41-. But only when his unhappy wife #40-Jeanne Cooper#41- runs off with his beloved chimps does Conrad unleash his inner beast, and the Faux Fur really flies. Shot by Academy Award#174-#45-winning#42- cinematographer Floyd Crosby on a soundstage stocked by famed animal behaviorist and Marine World creator Ralph Helfer, Black Zoo is the third collaboration of Gough #40-who later played Alfred the butler in four Batman movies#41- and producer Herman Cohen #40-Horrors of the Black Museum and Konga#41-, a Faux Furocious last trip to the maul. This violent, gore#45-filled, effective horror tale by director Robert Gordon is about a totally wacko private zoo keeper, Michael Conrad #40-Michael Gough#41- whose literal worship of the animals he tends #45- especially the cat species #45- starkly contrasts with his cold#45-blooded disregard for human life. Conrad has a mute son Carl #40-Rod Lauren#41- with a simmering Oedipal hatred, and a wife who should have left him eons ago. Whenever Conrad gets miffed with anyone coming a little too close to his private affairs he simply feeds the hapless victim to the animals. It seems inevitable that if the animals do not get him, then the human species will. #45- Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi. Genre: Horror. Release Date: 1 November 2011. Directed By: Robert Gordon.
