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. [More]

Reviews for The Island of Dr. Moreau
A quietly durable interpretation of Wells' classic, and a big step up from the Brando version.
Mais uma tentativa fracassada de se adaptar o livro homônimo de H.G. Wells, esta versão traz Burt Lancaster no piloto automático e Michael York pouco convincente como o incrédulo herói.
Sounds like someone’s playing God and foolin’ with Mother Nature. Anyone who watches horror movies knows where Moreau’s ironic fate lies.
