Horror Vault's take

Deep in the Pacific, a shipwrecked man finds himself marooned on a remote island ruled by the brilliant and terrifying Dr. Moreau — a scientist who has spent years bending the laws of nature to his own monstrous will. What lurks in the jungle's shadows defies easy categorization, and the longer the visitor stays, the clearer it becomes that escape may be impossible. Based on H.G. Wells' landmark novel, this pre-Code shocker pushed the boundaries of what Hollywood dared to put on screen. Charles Laughton delivers a chillingly suave performance as one of cinema's most iconic mad scientists.
