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. Go to Full Review
Jon Dieringer Screen Slate 07/23/2019
As a cinematic rendering of the gothic, fetishistic, horrific, and sublime - erotic, grotesque nonsense - it is unparalleled. Go to Full Review

4/5
What the film has on offer is not just the intensity of its emotions, but an endless array of creative images. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh Miss FlickChick 07/03/2010
Simultaneously utterly grotesque and surreally beautiful, Teruo Ishii's sexadelic freakout is a must-see for adventurous moviegoers with a taste for the macabre. Go to Full Review
Felix Gonzalez Jr. DVD Review 10/29/2007
As a piece of high trash cinema, the film emerges as something of an uncovered masterpiece. Go to Full Review

Lily R May 19 Fantastic movie! Underated as hell! See more May 11 Great movie, but not very accessiable See more J L 08/22/2023 This is an awsome horror masterpiece, but a bit outdated See more Brad P 03/02/2023 Brimming with oddities and visually magnetic, Ishii's twisted take on Dr.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. See more Sameir A 12/12/2021 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. See more william d @acsdoug 07/13/2021 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.
