    “Captive Wild Woman” is classic B-horror, featuring John Carradine in an eerie and unforgettable turn as a mad scientist. The circus sequences, filled with lions and tigers, take up a major portion of the film but add little to the story, serving primarily as padding. Still, the film’s strange charm and bold premise helped launch two sequels: “Jungle Woman” and “The Jungle Captive”, and it’s worth a watch if you enjoy vintage B-horror with a touch of pulp.
