Captive Wild Woman

Rejissyor: Universal Pictures. Captive Wild Woman (1943) is a classic Universal Pictures horror-thriller that blends mad science, jungle adventure, and film noir atmosphere into one wonderfully strange B-movie cocktail. When a ruthless carnival animal trainer named Fred Mason acquires a beautiful gorilla from a traveling circus, he crosses paths with brilliant but unhinged scientist Dr. Sigmund Walters. Obsessed with evolutionary experiments, the doctor uses an experimental serum and brain surgery to transform the gorilla into a mysterious and alluring woman named Paula Dupree. But the experiment has a deadly flaw. Whenever Paula becomes emotionally agitated, her primal nature returns with violent results. As jealousy, romance, and scientific obsession collide, the line between woman and beast begins to disappear. Starring Acquanetta as Paula, John Carradine as the sinister Dr. Walters, and Evelyn Ankers as the unsuspecting love interest, Captive Wild Woman launched Universal’s “Paula the Ape Woman” series and remains a fascinating example of 1940s horror filmmaking. Atmospheric, bizarre, and endlessly entertaining, this public-domain classic delivers everything fans of vintage monster movies crave. This motion picture is made available for historical preservation and appreciation of early horror cinema. It is shared in its original form as a cultural artifact of classic American filmmaking.
