Decent Italian take on "The Island Of Dr. Moreau". Of course, being Italian, it has to have some spraying blood, insane Gillman-esque creatures, and voodoo. It stars Richard Johnson, who Italian horror fans and honestly horror fans in general should know as Dr. Maynard from Lucio Fulci's "Zombie". Here he is less disheveled and more debonair, but a lot of the same mad scientist vein is there. Joseph Cotton, famous Hollywood actor, almost sleeps his way through the entire film.
Though pretty good from start to finish, it does drag a bit in the middle, and you can guess the ending pretty much from the first shot of the sea monsters. If you are a fan of mad scientist movies or "The Creature From The Black Lagoon", you should check this out. |
