About this product

Product Information

Marlon Brando stars as the scientist in the third adaptation of the H.G. Wells classic. The archetypal mad scientist, the good doctor has been conducting a number of experiments in his remote island kingdom, producing a race of genetic mutants both man and beast in his quest to produce a superior creature. The mutants treat Moreau as a virtual god, carrying out his orders with blind obedience. To deal with the few rebels, the scientist has embedded electrodes under their skin through which he can induce a degree of pain sufficient for his purpose. A plane crash-lands on the island, and the only survivor, U.N. negotiator Edward Douglas (David Thewlis), is taken to Moreau's compound by the doctor's demented assistant, Montgomery (Val Kilmer), where he's soon imprisoned. Shocked by Moreau's experiments, Douglas desperately seeks escape but is badly outnumbered by the army of mutants. At length, the creatures discover how to remove the controlling devices from their bodies and attempt a rebellion, but it soon becomes clear that their collective intelligence was not increased by their physical transformation. This film became an instant camp classic, the result of a troubled production on which John Frankenheimer replaced the original director after only a day of shooting. The fine camerawork of veteran William Fraker stands out above all else.

Still good!
I saw this movie as a 13 year old girl and thought it was really good. I remember this and decided to buy it and watch it again. I saw a lot of reviews on here that weren't so good about it and said the older versions were as good or better. Well, the older versions were before my time so I haven't seen them. I know the special effects couldn't have been better. It was as good as I remembered. If you like science fiction stuff or Planet of the Apes type stuff you'll like it. I thought it was pretty cool.

Reminiscent of my teen years
I watched this movie when I was a teenager and it remained in my mind and I always wondered; why would animals be wishing to be human? It looked like Dr. Moreau was indeed trying to downgrade animals into human beings...
