J L This is an awsome horror masterpiece, but a bit outdated Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/22/23 Full Review Brad P Brimming with oddities and visually magnetic, Ishii's twisted take on Dr.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 4/5 Stars •  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 3.5/5 Stars •  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. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Kurosawa it ain't. The 100% tomato score on the site is misleading by a long shot. Way over the top acting, bad makeup and cheesy effects even for 1969. I give it 20%, for the last 20% of the movie where you can have it all wrapped up in Sherlock Holmes fashion. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Se que a mucha gente le gusta, y sin duda tien muchos puntos positivos para hacerla un disfrute. Por desgracia para mí muchos de sus puntos positivos se convierten rapidamente en negativos y hacen que me cueste mucho disfrutar de la cinta en según qué momentos. Quizás mi mayor problema sea la inconsistencia tonal y el guion pastiche y remezcla de varias historias de Edogawa Rampo. Eso sí, debajo de ello hay una cinta que poco tiene que envidiar a la locura de Housu y similares, y que para muchos podria ser un deleite.
