Curse Of Simba (aka Curse Of The Voodoo) (1965)

A cold blooded guide (Bryant Haliday) to novice big game hunters has to clean up the mess of one of his clients, shooting a lion but couldn't kill. But a curse is put upon him by a local tribe who worship lions as their deity. Directed by Lindsay Shonteff (THE MILLION EYES OF SUMURU). This low budget horror flick is more silly than frightening. Though partially set in Africa, it was filmed entirely in England with stock footage for the African locations. As the leading actor, Haliday has all the screen presence of an overcooked noodle. The not so subtle racism weaved into the movie makes it an unpleasant watch. With its "ooga booga" natives it has the distasteful flavor of those movies set in colonial countries where the Brits look down at the indigenous people whose country they have invaded. Haliday would later redeem himself by co-founding Janus Films. With Dennis Price, Lisa Daniely, Ronald Leigh Hunt, Mary Kerridge, Dennis Alba Peters and Beryl Cunningham.
