I liked The Ghost and the Darkness! It definitely under the absurd and cheesy category of killer animal disaster movies, but the production design is great and it takes itself just seriously enough to be shameless fun. And any movie which features Michael Douglas as Charles Remington is at minimum a B+
More broadly speaking, the so-called "nature's revenge" sub-genre of disaster movies is a personal favorite of mine. Its heyday was in the 1970s not long after Silent Spring was released and I feel like we're long overdue for a revival of the genre given the climate crisis. Did you see Crawl? The movie where alligators invade a house during a hurricane? That was a so-so effort (premise was better than the execution, IMO)
As an aspirational hiker and an actual movie watcher, I must ask, do you have an opinion on The Ghost and The Darkness, also in the genre?
