Rating: B --
It doesn't make for the strongest film, but it does work like a case of people swapping outrageous war stories over a few beers.

AV Club
Richard Stanley's vision of Wells' hellish utopia never materialized, but its legacy makes for an appropriately insane real-life narrative every bit as brilliantly mad and maddening as the fiction promised to be.

Gregory might have done a bit more to differentiate this more extensive investigation from those earlier pics' conventions. But the richness of the tale told here makes this competently packaged feature a keeper nonetheless.

Variety
a making-of for a film that never got made - or at least never as intended.... The anecdotes here are frank and fascinating, and there are few raconteurs more mesmerising than Stanley.

A wildly entertaining effort and a must-see for anyone who walked out of The Island of Dr. Moreau confused and maybe a little irritated.

Whether you remember the actual movie or not, "Lost Soul" is an excellent dissection of a multi-million-dollar movie gone off the rails.

If you love [Moreau] as I do, or are even simply fascinated by its chaos for totally ironic reasons, this documentary is a must-watch.

A look at the disastrous 1996 film adaptation of H.G. Wells' novel "The Island of Dr. Moreau," which was plagued by behind-the-scenes upheaval and catastrophic weather. Original director Richard Stanley was fired from the project three days into filming the picture starring Val Kilmer and Marlon Brando.
