I had to read this in English class. It was a short story by Richard Connell and at first I thought it was boring. As the story progressed, it got more and more interesting. I finished watching the movie today 9.27.14 and as well as the book, the movie starts off very slow and it doesn't grab your attention. There are more characters in the movie and they add a woman named Eve in the story as a love interest. In the book, we never find out how General Zaroff dies. We just know that he is dead. In the movie we find out how he dies, but of course, this is how the director made it. We will never truly know how General Zaroff dies. I enjoyed the ending of the movie, because I got to find out how Zaroff dies and how gruesome the death was. When reading the story, I just thought Rainsford stabbed him.

Rainsford- Main character/ Protagonist (In both movie and story. Played by Joel McCrea)

General Zaroff- Main character/ Antagonist (In both story and movie. Played by Leslie Banks)

Eve Trowbridge- Main character/ Side Protagonist (Not really, she does nothing to save the day. Only in movie. Played by Fay Wray)

Whitney- Side Character (Only in story, but one of his lines was used in the movie by just some random sailor)

Martin Trowbridge- Side Character (Only in movie)

Ivan- Side Character/Antagonist (In both movie and story. Played by Noble Johnson)

Tartar- Minor Character (Only in movie. Played by Steve Clemente)

Captain- Minor Character (Mentioned in story, but does not have dialogue. Also in movie, seen. Played by William B. Davidson)

<<Buster Crabbe plays the sailor who falls out of the ship with Rainsford in the movie, but this never happened in the story>>

The story was made in 1924 and the movie was made 8 years later in 1932. It was realeased Septemeber 16, 1932 by RKO Radio Pictures.

It was also a radio play presented three times in the 1940's.

It's a really good movie. Comment whether you liked it or not.
