Bride of the Gorilla (1951)

In the heart of the Amazonian wilderness, a sizzling tale of passion, betrayal, and the supernatural unfolds. Barney Chavez, the steely-eyed manager of a lush plantation, is ensnared in a web of dangerous desires. He's irresistibly drawn to the captivating Dina, the wife of his elderly employer, Klaas Van Gelder. Succumbing to their forbidden love, Chavez orchestrates Van Gelder's demise, paving the way for their unholy union. However, his treacherous actions do not go unnoticed. A scorned native girl, with whom he had a clandestine affair, seethes with betrayal, while the Van Gelder's ancient housekeeper, a witness to his dark deeds, plots a chilling retribution. Using her knowledge of cryptic jungle lore, she drugs Chavez, casting a malevolent curse designed to sabotage his newfound happiness. As the moon graces the jungle sky, a terrifying transformation takes hold of Chavez. He finds himself morphing into a rampaging gorilla each night, his human veneer giving way to primal fury. But as the boundaries of reality blur, one question persists – is this metamorphosis a tangible curse or merely a manifestation of his guilt-ridden psyche? "Bride of the Gorilla" is a riveting journey into the heart of darkness, where the wild echoes of the jungle drum out a haunting tale of love, deceit, and the monstrous consequences of unchecked ambition.
