The Island of Dr. Moreau

Critics Consensus

Timid and unfocused in its storytelling, The Island Of Dr. Moreau is more lackluster misfire than morbid curiosity.

    I genuinely can't begin to describe how bizarre this movie is. I almost recommend it just for people to see how bad movies can get.

    On a remote ISLAND in the South Pacific, the balance OF nature has been upset by the experiments of DR. MOREAU... with the key of science he's unlocked the gates of hell.

    If there's no Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer, this movie is going to be another B class movie.. quite depressing.

    I usually only give a rating of half a star to movies that I couldn't go through with.. Well I watched this one to the end but it's sooo terrible that I can't bring myself to rate it any higher !!!
