That great character actor Huston never gave a more brutal and shocking performance than he did in KONGO. Huston is a white renegade who was crippled in a confrontation with arch enemy Gordon years earlier. He cannot walk and drags himself about his ramshackle tropical house with powerful
arms. He controls the local tribesmen of the Congo through voodoo and threats of death by his magical instruments, guns. Moreover, he abuses every white person he meets, including Bruce, who he believes is the daughter of his nemesis Gordon. For sport he drives others mad and hooks young doctor
Nagel on drugs. He degrades Bruce slowly, agonizingly, until she is reduced to a quiver...
