Description
Cast: Charles Laughton, Leila Hyams, Bela Lugosi
Laughton plays a sadistic mad doctor with a plan to create a population of half men/half animal mutants. Lugosi is one of the pathetic creatures who asks, “Are We Not Men?” Paramount’s pre-code sci-fi chiller is the first of three (so far) movie adaptations of H.G. Wells’ The Island of Dr. Moreau and still the best version.
