The Island of Dr. Moreau (1977)

Posted byleithePosted inYouTubeTags:, ,

The Island of Dr. Moreau is a 1977 American science fiction horror film about a scientist who attempts to convert animals into human beings. It is the second English-language adaptation (after Island of Lost Souls) of the 1896 H. G. Wells novel of the same name.

The Island of Dr. Moreau is originally a novel by H. G. Wells, but has made into a movie several times, the most recent one at the time of writing is a 1996 version of the same name. This story is not new to me, I’ve watched this movie before, but watched it again since it was free on YouTube.

It it obvious from the beginning that something strange is going on on this island, but it is kept quiet at least for a little while. Our protagonist struggles with this since he has no where to go, but plays nice to his host, not fully accepting what is going on.

I will say that this is a somewhat dated story, as cinema and storytelling has moved on from “mad scientists” and “deserted remote islands”, at least to a certain degree. It is decent enough background noise for an afternoon, however.
