If you loved King Kong Lives, try The Son of Kong
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Action / Adventure territory. If that's the register that drew you to King Kong Lives, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Son of Kong is
Fog clings to the rotting docks of New York harbor, 1933. A rain-slicked map unfurls, marked with a skull-shaped isle; Denham’s boot crushes a phosphorescent jellyfish on the deck. Less spectacle, more fever dream—Schoedsack serving the id of the original’s subconscious.
