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

There's something legitimately sick and cold about it, a chill sweat of jungle malaria.

All in all, Island of Lost Souls works on every level; it rattles your nerves while you're watching it, and it haunts your dreams after it's over.

[T]his remains by far the best Moreau film, capturing vividly the sense of the book's ominous denouement...
Sight and Sound
While the action is not designed to appeal to other than the credulous, there are undoubtedly some horror sequences which are unrivaled.

Erle C. Kenton's 1932 production is an upscale creature feature with top-notch masks...
Film Comment
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.
