After being rescued and brought to an island, a man discovers that its
inhabitants are experimental animals being turned into strange-looking
humans, all of it the work of a visionary doctor.
Big-budget and star-cast adaptation of H:G. Wells' classic sci-fi novel lands a fascinatingly wild and hilarious fail on almost every level, among which Marlon Brando's ridiculous performance is only one of the many facets you need to see to believe.
Halliwell (no star): "Incoherent horror, notable for one of Brando's more eccentric performances, mercifully brief."
Maltin*1/2: "Heavy-handed retelling of H.G. Wells' novel...Grotesque in the extreme, obvious, and ultimately pointless, but Brando devotees will want to check out his flamboyantly silly performance, and makeup buffs should admire Stan Winston's remarkable creations."
