This 1959 Horror film is about a man, Jonathan Drake, worried about being killed when he arrives home to find out that his brother had been killed and beheaded. This is due to 'the family curse' in which his grandfather and several other men killed a tribe of Amazon Indians. This film stars Eduard Franz as Jonathan, a great actor of the time and also Henry Daniell another great character actor portraying Dr. Emil Zurich.
Jonathan finds that his worries are real when he awakens only to find a native with his mouth sewn shot standing over him with a knife.
This film, even though low-budget, has some great acting and a pretty good script. Nice atmospheric music and sets. I feel that this is a must see for all B-Movie Buffs. (7.5/10)
