Rating: 3/4 -- Less an exercise in stark horror and moody ambience -- the defining traits of the classic 1932 adaptation Island of Lost Souls, starring Charles Laughton as Dr. Moreau -- and more a straightforward adventure yarn with a sci-fi bent. Full Review

...A Saturday night movie that needn't be ashamed to come out the rest of the week....[Carrera is] a sacred mystery of life all by herself.

Only Michael York's metamorphosis into a beast has any impact, and the film predictably fails to follow through even on that. Full Review

This adaptation features moments that are truly unsettling, which is one of the few achievements of this type of cinema. Burt Lancaster is convincing in his role of the complex Dr. Moreau. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review

Rating: 1/5 -- Miscast Lancaster fails to be a compelling figure - either tragic or malevolent - and the entire film collapses around him. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/4 -- feels more like a made-for-television film than a theatrical feature, despite the lush widescreen cinematography and relatively large-scale action sequences, Full Review

Product Description:

Lancaster gives a memorable performance as the demented Doctor Moreau who performs bizarre genetic experiments on animals--turning them into man-beasts known as humanimals. His experiments continue uninterrupted until a mariner named Braddock shipwrecks on Moreau's island. Shocked by the immoral nature of Moreau's work, Braddock tries to stop the mad Doctor but finds that he has an army of humanimals to reckon with first. Based on H.G. Wells' 1896 novel.
