Eventually, even though it didn’t really get much love when it was released, I have to admit it, I thought it was actually not bad at all.

" Set in 1898, this movie is based on the true story of two lions in Africa that killed 130 people over a nine month period, while a bridge engineer and an experienced old hunter tried to kill them. Critics gave it mixed reviews, and audiences barely watched it, with the film becoming a box office disappointment, witn the film’s director, Stephen Hopkins, disavowing the movie. During its opening weekend, The Ghost and the Darkness grossed $10.3 million. The film ultimately grossed over $38."

"The Tsavo Man Eaters The Tsavo Man Eaters were a pair of man-eating lions in the Tsavo region, which were responsible for the deaths of a number of construction workers on the Kenya-Uganda Railway between March and December 1898. The significance of this lion pair was their unusual behavior of killing men and the manner of their attacks."
