The ISLAND OF DR MOREAU

The ISLAND OF DR MOREAU
   Film (1977). Cinema 77/AIP. Dir Don Taylor, starring Burt Lancaster, Michael York, Nigel Davenport, Barbara Carrera. Screenplay John Herman Shaner, Al Ramrus, based on The Island of Dr Moreau (1896) by H.G. WELLS. 98 mins. Colour.
   In this slow-moving and trite remake of ISLAND OF LOST SOULS (1932), a young castaway (York) on a remote ISLAND learns that Dr Moreau (Lancaster), resident SCIENTIST, is carrying out experiments to give animals human characteristics; some of the resulting hybrids live in the jungle and worship Moreau as a god. Unlike the novel and the first film, where the hybrids were cruelly created by vivisection, these are formed by GENETIC ENGINEERING; thus this version's Wellsian references to the House of Pain become puzzlingly irrelevant. The novelization (so much for Wells!) is The Island of Dr Moreau * (1977) by Joseph Silva (Ron GOULART).
