Ard Vijn ScreenAnarchy Although reasons can be found to call it a bad example of either of the first three, it undeniably succeeds as a piece of art. Jan 23, 2020 Full Review Jon Dieringer Screen Slate As a cinematic rendering of the gothic, fetishistic, horrific, and sublime - erotic, grotesque nonsense - it is unparalleled. Jul 23, 2019 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending What the film has on offer is not just the intensity of its emotions, but an endless array of creative images. Rated: 4/5 Aug 30, 2017 Full Review Maitland McDonagh Miss FlickChick Simultaneously utterly grotesque and surreally beautiful, Teruo Ishii's sexadelic freakout is a must-see for adventurous moviegoers with a taste for the macabre. Jul 3, 2010 Full Review Felix Gonzalez Jr. DVD Review As a piece of high trash cinema, the film emerges as something of an uncovered masterpiece. Oct 29, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Lily R Fantastic movie! Underated as hell! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Audience Member Great movie, but not very accessiable Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review J L This is an awsome horror masterpiece, but a bit outdated Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/23 Full Review Brad P Brimming with oddities and visually magnetic, Ishii's twisted take on Dr. Moreau's famous island not only succeeds as an example of Japanese cult cinema but it has a rousing mystery at its core to boot. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/02/23 Full Review Sameir A It's really hard to believe that the film was made in 1969, it's not only the technical side, but, the subject itself. Though this film is a Sci-Fi, nothing much of these details are discussed in the movie, it concentrates more on the dramatic aspects. Interestingly the famous poison over the thread scene from "You Only Live Twice (1967)" was adapted into this film. Must watch for those who are dying to see different kind of films. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/21 Full Review william d I had been on a pretty good run with my choices in Japanese cinema. I had recommended seven movies in a row. The streak stops with this one. Not even the constant presence of exposed boobs could save it. I can't help but notice the similarities between this movie and the Ilsa movies that would begin about six years later (i.e. Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS): minimal plot, maximum sadism, really bad acting.
