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

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.

While the action is not designed to appeal to other than the credulous, there are undoubtedly some horror sequences which are unrivaled.

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.

I objected to The Island of Lost Souls merely because it was dull, and, too, because of a gruesome conclusion in an operating room.

Vanity Fair
H.G. Wells' overstepping biologist Moreau pokes and prods at a very modernist anxiety: in the wake of Darwinism, has science opened the conventionally closed borders between the bestial, the human and the divine?

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.
