Rating: 3/5 --
Although the attempt to horrify is not accomplished with any marked degree of subtlety, there is no denying that some of the scenes are ingenously fashioned and are, therefore, interesting.

New York Times
It's a grand, hokey chiller, dripping with sex and sadism and photographed in dense, Sternbergian shadows by the great cinematographer Karl Struss.

Chicago Reader
Not a great success at the time, probably because its horror is more intellectual than graphic, this adaptation of HG Wells' The Island of Dr Moreau is nevertheless a remarkably powerful film.

Time Out
The foreboding set piece complements the horrific story wonderfully, while Charles Laughton is genuinely sinister.

Exquisite Terror
[T]his remains by far the best Moreau film, capturing vividly the sense of the book's ominous denouement...
Sight and Sound
Erle C. Kenton's 1932 production is an upscale creature feature with top-notch masks...

Rating: 4/5 --
The lead character is sadly generic as hell, but thankfully everything that goes on around him is interesting and well shot. Highly recommended.

Product Description:
Widely banned when it was released, this horror classic features a young Charles Laughton and a wild-haired Bela Lugosi in the film based on the H.G. Wells novel THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU. 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.
