Master Cultist You know, I had a dream a while back in which I opined the paucity of movies featuring bare breasts and half human, half pig hybrids. "Why oh why oh why," I cried, "Can we not see more breasts and pig men?" Well, fear not my fellow brutarians, Dr Moreau is here to answer all of our prayers.Directed by Charles Band, he of low budget horror legend status, unhealthy obsessed by killer doll movies (Blood Dolls, Puppet Master, Dollman vs. Demonic Toys) here he takes a stab at the film noir genre, bringing us a tale of human / animal experimentation in Prohibition era America.All the noir trappings are there: smoky streets, illuminated only by atmospheric streetlamps, wiseguys in brimmed hats, broads in fur coats and shawls with cigarette holders stuck between their well rouged lips, and automobiles relevant to the period and, it must be stressed, for a low budget movie he does a remarkable job of 'placing' the movie.Whilst the plot is a fairly silly one, involving a young man searching for his brother who went to Dr. Moreau for treatment and was transformed into half man, half big cat, the trappings surrounding it work very well.Whilst hardly Orwellian, the script is nevertheless effective enough, and the acting more than passable.So, if you, like me, find yourself yearning for those hybrids anytime soon, you could do worse than check this out

alex_l_johnston What would even compel some of you to think that this movie deserves A star let alone 10?!?!??! Did you actually watch this movie?!?!?!?! The "MANIMALS (a scrape for an idea in my opinion)" want to reproduce with the girl and take over the world?!?!?!?! The kids were dumb enough to go into the mansion when of course they were blatantly told not to?!?! Even the person who got mutilated on a table only for the table to be completely void of blood and guts not even two full frames later!?!?!? PLEASE, this movie sucks so badly I had to be reminded that I actually watched it. The MANIMALS?!?!?!? MANIMALS!?!?! YOU WERE "MOVED" BY THIS?!?!? Please tell me that is a joke, the only reason I cried is because I had no choice in turning it off and burning this movie in a fireplace immediately. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! You'd have more enjoyment playing with a brick.

boristheblade7 I cannot imagine how any sane human being could enjoy this film. Its insane crappiness induces vomiting. A man with giant knees would make more sense than the monsters in this film. Don't get me wrong, I like my share of cheesy movies, but this one was just too awful even for me. I watched this movie hoping for a fun and amusing horror flick. What I received was one of the worst moments in my life. At one point during the movie I convinced myself that if the movie did not end in less than 10 minutes, i would jam a fork in my eye. I urge anyone who finds this film on a store shelf to buy it, break it into 1000 tiny pieces, and scatter them across the ocean. If not for me, do it for the children.

lala-81 This film really moved me. I mean REALLY moved me. Like move to Nebraska and start a pig farm moved me. I don't know how to describe this cinematic majesty without degrading its purity. It is a magical experience. Thrills, chills, laughs,and more will all ensue after the opening scene. It has all the makings of a fabulous film including violence, nudity, and animals. What more could you want- NOTHING thats what. You must see this. I cant believe one would entertain the idea of not adding this quality American film to the home theater collection. Truly this is a film for everyone of all ages. See it see it see it. see it see it see it. See it see it. see it see it see it. See it now!
