In the Shadow of Kilimanjaro



Has anybody seen a movie called "In the Shadow of Kilimanjaro"? I've never seen it myself, but I remember the trailer scared the goddamn snot out of me as a kid...

IMDB features the description: Based on actual events, the film tells the story of an incident in Kenya in 1984, when, because of a severe drought, 90,000 starving baboons went on a murderous rampage, killing humans and animals alike.

Our old friend Wikipedia lets us down without an entry for this 1986 movie. And no, Netflix doesn't have it. (That would be too easy.) Best I can do is this thoughtful review courtesy of Horror Express.

I got to thinking about this movie because of a documentary show I caught on the National Geographic Channel, called "Hunter Hunted". The episode was called Kidnapped and focused on the bizarre incident of a male baboon kidnapping a human baby.

April 15. It's April 15 already.
