imagino que la novela debe ser buena.
creo que es inherente al ser humano revelarse, asi que sin saberlo el dr. moreau logro su objetivo.

A good midnight movie. The fine line between what is human and what is animal is one of my favorite subjects, so I love the original book by Wells, and really liked the 1997 film version, too.

The fine line between what is human and what is animal is one of my favorite subjects, so I love the original book by Wells, and really liked the 1997 film version, too. This version is less faithful than the 1997 one, but I do enjoy the fact that Dr. Moreau attempts to regress Michael York into an animal. I thought York did very well conveying someone who was losing hold of his humanity. The makeup effects are pretty good for the time, but not as great as Stan Winston's work in the later version. I like Burt Lancaster in this part more than I liked Marlon Brando (who was just way over the top). My three main gripes with this movie would be the general slow-pace of its first hour, the unbelievable love relationship between York and Barbara Carrera, and the tacked-on happy ending. If it had ended more grimly, I might have been tempted to give it 3.5 stars, but as such, I still think it's a solid cult film.

Lancaster's great, but most of the movie hasn't dated well, and the obvious ethical questions are belaboured.

This movie was pretty interesting even though it didn't do H.G. Wells justice. One of the fun things about it is that it's a period piece set in the late 1800's (like the book), but was made in the 1970's, and so carries all the earmarks of that deca...

The landscape shots of the island were beautiful and the makeup on the animal characters was really good. All in all, it was a good movie, but I could have done without all the shrieking.

No me atrevería decir que es una gran película, pero fue una de las que más me impactaron de pequeño. La novela es muy interesante y es ciencia ficción de la buena (H.G. Wells). Pero, las cosas como son, Burt Lancaster, que pedazo de actor.

Ugh... very slow paced - so slow in fact that I watched a lot of the non-dialogues scenes at 1.5X or 2X.... different than the Val Kilmer version I saw first though... same questions about ethics but different outcome.

Animals attacking humans; they just don't make 'em like that anymore. All and all, an interesting sci-fi blast from the past.

It's funny when York gets turned but apart from that its slow with not the best of make. Still I didn't think it was as bad as my Dad made it out to be.
