A family living in a remote part of Africa are trapped in their house by a bunch of hungry lions. I caught this back in 1979 at a theatre. I was told it was a horror film. I completely ignored the PG rating and ended up seeing a pretty bland, generic story of a family that bonds together when their lives are threatened. Yawn. The dialogue and story were completely predictable. Also I got a few laughs when the family realizes they're trapped by lions and, instead of trying to escape, they sit down and start singing a medley of Beatle songs! By the end of the movie you're rooting for the lions. The only thing that saves this is some good acting by Tom Skerritt, Michelle Phillips and Shawn Stevens. Despite their lines they're pretty good. This is pretty much forgotten--for good reason! I give it a 3 for the acting alone.
