7/05: King Kong is an impressive horror picture with a beautiful sight of the beast who looks larger than life.

Considering the film was made in the year of 1933, it's still an amazing effort. The special effects holds up today. That being said, I can't imagine myself sleeping in a room where I'll be snatched by Kong's hand and be dropped to the ground from high above. It's a scary thought.

I feel sorry for Kong but hate everybody else. He isn't the monster but rather Carl Denham who hypocritically says, "It wasn't the planes. It was the beauty that killed the beast."

All in all, King Kong is a true classic horror film that runs a bit slow.
