Grisly, even for a pre-code movie but other than that it's a little too goofy.

This could have been a really amusing movie

This could have been a really amusing movie, but the entire film is completely destroyed by the performance of Charles Ruggles. His character is so unbelievably irritating that it renders the movie unwatchable. I don't recall ever seeing an otherwise interesting movie completely destroyed by a single actor.

Pre-code horror films are quite a thing. Made

Pre-code horror films are quite a thing. Made in 1933 by Paramount as a response the growing popularity of horror films started with Universal. Whereas Universal was making gothic horror films and works based on classic literature. Paramount decided to tell a twisted tale of deadly jealousy set in the modern day. Now before I get into what I love about this film, the big negative is Charlie Ruggles in the comedic relief role, while I understand the belief that the film needed it given how horrifying it gets. However, in this case Ruggles holds up the momentum of the film and it often causes some tonal inconsistency with the film. That said, the film is still very very good. Helmed by A. Edward Sutherland who for the most part directs a brisk and suspenseful horror thriller. The film centers on a man who is so wickedly jealous of the men attracted to his younger wife he is willing to resort to murder in various gruesome ways to do away with them. Given the title, Murders at the Zoo, the death scenes are all animal related. The cast in the film other than Ruggles is solid with Lionel Atwill again showcasing why he was so successful in horror in the early 30s, he's excellently sinister and creepy. Atwill commands the screen with a solid performance. What really sets this film apart from many films at the time is how gruesome and violent it is. Surprisingly so for 1933. The murders are either very violent or in some cases built around some incredibly suspenseful moments. It's a fun underseen thriller
