Congo
Eight people embark on an expedition into the Congo, a mysterious expanse of unexplored Africa, where human greed and the laws of nature have gone berserk.
Critics Sentiment
Karen uses the blue diamond laser to kill attacking gray gorillas
Richard and porters are killed by gray gorillas at camp
The film swings dramatically upward from the poorly-received first gorilla attack to the entertaining absurdity of the diamond laser climax
Congo maintains a consistently mediocre reception throughout most of its runtime, with viewers finding it boring in the middle sections but appreciating its campy performances, particularly Tim Curry's over-the-top villain and the gloriously ridiculous diamond laser finale. The film's biggest strength lies in its so-bad-it's-good entertainment value rather than genuine quality.
