After watching The Island of Dr. Moreau recently- the Burt Lancaster version- I finally found a movie I would out in this thread.
Lancaster is a perfect Moreau- cold and menacing. The script is well written- it's set in the period the original story was.
The low-budget effects totally detroyed any credibility of this production though. The animal creatures are so poorly done they're laughable instead of frightening. I mean really poorly done. If they had had a decent budget and time to make great creature effects this film could have been good.
