My impression of the film after a second watch is that it's even better. Charles Laughton is amazing!

This adaptation of the H.G Wells classic “The Island of Dr Moreau” from the early times of the sound movies is still classic worth the watch. Actually, it is still one of the best adaptations of the material of the crazy Doctor who plays God on his island. One can say that Jurassic Park is based n the same idea, though, when it comes to the direct adaptations of the book, this is still one of the best ones. Most later adaptations that I have seen are just mediocre or even bad, while this one is good, even though it is a bit dated.

This is a classic early Science Fiction film with a great performance by Charles Laughton (Dr. Moreau) and a crazed Bela Lugosi (Sayer of the Law). Dr. Moreau's got it all together until he breaks his own law, then it's trouble as his own animal-to-human creations hand him their final judgement in what is a truly goosebump-inducing scene. I love the way this looks. It's a Paramount film that reminds me of an original Universal horror. The fog, the mysterious island...it's really effectively creepy.

Image 2.75 / 5 and sound 2.75 / 5, quite good for the time. The aesthetic resembles that of King Kong in the 1930s. The best version of the island of Dr Moreu

There's an island somewhere out there in the goddamn foggy laden deep blue sea. Here resides Dr. Moreau (Charles Laughton), he has a God complex and he is conducting experiments, turning animals into humans. Unsurprisingly and terrifyingly the results are not exactly a success!

There is something almost "Hitler-esque" about Charles Laughton's performance in this stunningly eerie adaptation of HG Wells' novel "The Island of Dr. Moreau". I have to admit to a certain bewilderment as to the name change - if anything, it rather detracts from the original - but hey, I'm nitpicki More
