Description: Filmed by director of Escape from the Planet of the Apes movie. Based on the classic HG Wells chiller, this sci-fi morality tale concerns a shipwreck survivor (Michael York) who washes ashore on a remote island where an insane doctor (Burt Lancaster) conducts hideous experiments resulting in men transforming into beasts. An entire society of beast-men led by the Sayer of the Law (Richard Basehart) lives in subterranean grottoes and worships Moreau like a god. Nigel Davenport is appropriately menacing as one of Moreau’s henchmen and Barbara Carrera provides plenty of eye candy. The spectacular climax involves dozens of jungle creatures running amok and quite a few brave stuntmen putting their lives on the line; it’s well worth the price of admission.
