The Island of Doctor Moreau (1996)

Well what can I say about this incarnation of the classic H.G. Wells story apart from that it is Beast! (I can hear you groaning from here)

This film has a great cast, and Marlon Brando is a perfect Dr. Moreau (accompanied by a delightful little guy below)


It is also has the stunning Faruza Balk as a cat woman, of course.


The film also does feature the wonderful Ron Perlman which I noticed before watching the movie, and I've always been a big fan. But unfortunately I must point out that while watching the movie I did not recognise him as "Sayer of the Law" but presumed the below was the man himself

It must be a sad day when you wake up and someone has put your face on a Hyena-Swine costume.


Anyway, this is a classically brilliant story which already gives it a certain standing in my books but the execution was not completely flawless so I gave this 3 out of 5, and enter it in my "To Watch" list
