If that\u2019s not an option where you are, there\u2019s another way to find it. The film is also available to rent or buy<\/strong> through Apple TV<\/a> and Prime Video<\/a> in several countries, according to listings on both platforms, which makes it easy enough to track down a movie that slipped from major studio release into forgotten-gem territory.<\/p>\n\n

The Ghost and the Darkness stars Val Kilmer alongside Michael Douglas in Stephen Hopkins\u2019<\/strong> survival thriller, written by William Goldman and based on the 1898 Tsavo attacks in Kenya, when two man-eating lions terrorized railway workers. Kilmer plays engineer John Henry Patterson, and Douglas plays hunter Charles Remington. The movie pulls together historical drama, creature-feature suspense, and that old-school action-adventure style that used to be everywhere. Reviews were mixed when it came out, but it still earned about $75 million worldwide on a reported $55 million budget, won the Oscar for Best Sound Editing, and over time built a cult following for its atmosphere, practical effects, South African landscapes, and even the rough production history behind it.<\/p>\n\n

If you like pre-CGI survival thrillers or just want to give an underrated 1990s adventure another shot, The Ghost and the Darkness is well worth grabbing. You can stream The Ghost and the Darkness now on Paramount+ in the U.S., or rent or buy<\/strong> the film digitally depending on your region.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
