Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer team up for this terrifying tale about a pair of lions which terrorised the African plains in the late 1800s. John Patterson (Kilmer) is an engineer trying to construct a series of bridges in East Africa to support the forthcoming railway line. When construction on the project is halted by the rumours of two 'Devils of the Night' - a couple of staggeringly devious lions nicknamed ' The Ghost' and 'The Darkness' - Patterson knows that he must have the creatures killed. Joining forces with wild game hunter Remington (Douglas), Patterson attempts to outwit the lions - but they are far cleverer than either man could ever have imagined.
