Overview
When legendary hunter Bob Rainsford is shipwrecked on the perilous reefs surrounding a mysterious island, he finds himself the guest of the reclusive and eccentric Count Zaroff. While he is very gracious at first, Zaroff eventually forces Rainsford and two other shipwreck survivors, brother and sister Eve and Martin Towbridge, to participate in a sadistic game of cat and mouse in which they are the prey and he is the hunter.

Viewing Notes
Extremely happy to see that The Most Dangerous Game has a Criterion release as I seriously adore this film. Besides the always enchanting Fay Wray, Leslie Banks as the ever so creepy Count Zarloff is an onscreen delight. Nice to finally view the origin of Surviving The Game. Always appreciate “man as the prey” plotting (when it’s done well). Here it is excellent and amusing. Highly recommended viewing.
