The premise
A plane crash surviving attorney stumbles upon a mysterious island and is shocked to discover that a brilliant scientist and his lab assistant have found a way to combine human and animal DNA—with horrific results.
Horror Vault's take
Stranded on a remote South Sea island after a plane crash, a desperate attorney quickly realizes his refuge is anything but safe. The island's reclusive mastermind has spent years pushing the boundaries of genetic engineering far beyond anything the outside world would sanction. What he has created in his hidden laboratories defies easy categorization — part human, part animal, and wholly terrifying. This adaptation of H.G. Wells' cautionary tale is a fever-dream descent into one man's monstrous ambition.
