![](https://s26.postimg.cc/s8tffwvq1/cheers.gif) Thanks. It's due for comeback I think. Perhaps a franchise..Quicksand...Quicksand II: Electric Boogaloo...Quicksand III: The Quickening etc etc. The woman in the last pic looks a little too happy for someone being sucked into a suffocating pit of mulch. Well we can't see below the waist, can we? .
All of a sudden quicksand sounds fun I feel the same way about ATONEMENT

The 1932 The Most Dangerous Game deserves a mention. It feature the same back lot jungle as King Kong, including the detail, such as the log over the ravine; and while the early scenes are set at sea, and after that the story moves quickly into Zaroff's castle, the chase through the jungle in its second half is the film's highlight, and an exciting one it is. The theme of the jungle, more broadly, runs throughout the movie, as the dangers of the natural world (sharks, underwater; man, above) are emphasized. A brutal, fast-paced film it is. It was described by one critic as a (literally) sadistic film; and after multiple viewings I have to agree. It's not the characters so much, Zaroff aside, but the way the story is told, the air of menace throughout.

MISTRESS OF THE WORLD was a jolly globe trotting two part German adventure film from 1960 featuring jungles, quicksand, the cold war, murdered scientists, tiger attacks and a despot with aspirations to global dominance. It also featured Sabu. It was truncated for US/UK viewings into a one part movie - full unsubbed version available R2. Veteran William Dieterle directed with flair and one eye on old 20s serial adventures.

Following on from the African outpost jungle setting of West Of Zanzibar (1928) the final Chaney-Browning film collaboration Where East is East (1929) is set in the exotic jungles of Indochina. Lon Chaney stars as Tiger Haynes a rugged jungle scarred veteran who works as an animal trapper, selling captured wild prey to American zoos and circuses. Close to him is his young adult daughter a vivacious brunette Lupe Vélez she stars as Toyo Haynes giving an exuberant performance. Tiger's ex Estelle Taylor gives a tremendous performance as Madame de Sylva, a hypnotizing, erotic exotic femme fatale. Crafted with an evocative subtropical atmosphere Tod Browning's last silent film was released with a Movietone soundtrack, one of synchronized effects and music. An excellent film Browning's inspired use of jungle rhythms brilliantly amplify the dark tone & mysterious ambience of this deep jungle setting ... ![](http://lonchaney.org/photos/l_where_east_is_east1.jpg) ![](https://s26.postimg.cc/s8tffwvq1/cheers.gif) for recommendations - I found both ZANZIBAR and EAST online and enjoyed them both - I'd seen the KONGO remake of the former, which was pretty good - the 1950s Britmovie of same name having nothing to do with it.
