Island of Lost Souls (1932)

January 18, 2024 11:11 AM

An obsessed scientist conducts profane experiments in evolution, eventually establishing himself as the self-styled demigod to a race of mutated, half-human abominations.

A classic HG Wells adaptation with Richard Laughton, Bela Legosi and "The Panther Woman." Great beast-man makeup.

I haven't seen a lot of classic movies from this era, saw the DEVO connection while looking for the Brando/Kilmer Dr. Moreau, and picked up the Criterion release on sale. GREAT MOVIE. Love the linen, love the make-up.
