After being shipwrecked, a young man winds up on a mysterious island populated by a mad scientist intent on transforming animals into men, and serving as their God, with the injunction: "What is the law? No spill blood! Are we not men?" A genuinely unsettling classic. [More]

Reviews for Island of Lost Souls
A horror classic featuring Laughton's hammy performance and Lugosi as the keeper of the law. Better than any of its remakes.
Chilling, unforgettable Dr. Moreau telling with creeps supplied by Laughton and Lugosi.
