Product Description

Product Description

Thriller based on the novella by H.G. Wells. Michael York stars as Braddock, a young Englishman who is rescued from a shipwreck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean by the mysterious Dr. Montgomery (Nigel Davenport). Braddock accompanies Montgomery and his cargo of wild animals to a nearby tropical island. As Braddock spends more time on the island he begins to familiarise himself with the natives, who are unlike any other humans he has encountered before. It soon becomes apparent that these 'men' are in fact experimental reconstructions from wild animals created by deranged scientist Dr. Moreau (Burt Lancaster).

About the Director

Dr. Moreau Braddock (Michael York) a decent young Englishman is miraculously saved by the mysterious Dr. Montgomery (Nigel Davenport) after being thrown overboard a ship sailing in a remote area of the Pacific. Dr. Montgomery is accompanying a cargo of animals destined for a tropical island. At first an 'honoured guest' on the island he finds his contact with the natives increasingly disturbing for they are unlike any men he has ever seen. After it transpires that these 'men' are the result of experiments of the sinister scientist Dr. Moreau (Burt Lancaster) Braddock feels that he is in grave danger: from both these strange creatures and from Dr. Moreau himself. Unable to escape the confines of the island on his own Braddock knows not what to do or whom to turn to... --This text refers to the Blu-ray edition.

4.0 out of 5 starsAnimal Magic
By Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett on 29 Jan. 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The turn of the 20th century. The ship the 'Lady Vain' is lost at sea, and three survivors find themselves cast adrift in a small wooden boat. After seventeen days at sea, they come across an island, by which time there are only two survivors. The ship's engineer Andrew Braddock(Michael York) pulls the boat ashore, and leaving his ill shipmate behind, goes looking for water. Braddock is startled by something or someone moving in the undergrowth, and falls into an animal trap. When he comes to, he is in bed, and meets a man called Montgomery(Nigel Davenport), who informs him that his companion has died of heat exposure.
Montgomery runs the house, but is employment of the owner, a certain Dr Moreau(Burt Lancaster), who welcomes Braddock with open arms, offering him the hospitality of his home. There is also a lady called Maria(Barbera Carrera), who Moreau informs Braddock was found abandoned as a baby in New Orleans. Braddock is enjoying the paradise island, but the strange animal noises he hears at night concern him. After seeing Moreau's servant M'Ling, in chains being dragged into an unknown out house, curiosity gets the better of Braddock, and he enters the building. What he finds brings a realisation that Dr Moreau has very good reasons for wanting to stay on an isolated island, as he is very active in conducting terrifying experiments, experiments which seem to have been going very wrong...
I must confess, this is the only film adaptation of H.G Wells story that I have seen. The 1932 version, 'The Island Of Lost Souls' is meant to be the definative version, but you could do a lot worse than visiting this adaptation, as although it doesn't follow the book to the letter, it is a pretty faithful version.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsThe beast within
By wolfers TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 19 July 2014
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
As a huge H G Wells fan I always make a point of watching film adaptations. This one from 1977 is reasonably faithful. Its of its time but never the less is a good film.I will assume that most of you will know the premise having read the book, vivisection, animals into humans with the fallout that the beast within will always come to the surface, Hence the sleeve picture.
As for this blu ray well, it has zilch by way of bonus features but the picture quality is excellent, crisp sharp and blemish free. Audio is only 2 channel stereo. Lancaster, is to my mind a bit miscast as Moreau and although Yorks character has a name change from Prendick(the book),to Braddock in the film he is good in the role.Nigel Davenport, always good to watch is great as Montgomery. The make up effects for the beastmen is quite good(dated ofcourse).
Overall a good film, now looking its best.
Read the book, see the film, then try the other adaptation featuring Brando and Kilmer made a good few years later.
BEST WELLS ADAPTATIONS?
Island of Lost Souls
The Time Machine, G.Pal
War of The Worlds, G.Pal
First Men In The Moon film and Gatiss tv version

I would like to see a release of Food of The Gods soon on blu ray, surely another cult classic

3.0 out of 5 stars"If one is to study nature, one must become as remorseless as nature."
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 15 April 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Not as shockingly powerful as Island of Lost Souls or as balls-to-the-wall silly as the Marlon Brando version, 1977's The Island of Dr Moreau is an effective adaptation of H.G. Wells' allegory of genetic manipulation, with shipwrecked sailor Michael York (who would play a thinly disguised version of Dr Moreau in an episode of Sliders a couple of decades later) discovering his brilliant host is using his island as a lab in his attempts to crack DNA and isolate the link between man and beast by trying to turn the local wildlife into men. Part-Albert Schweitzer, part-Josef Mengale, Lancaster's take on Moreau is very different from Laughton's - he at least has a purpose, and has convinced himself that the end justifies the means to the extent that he's immune to any moral considerations. Whereas Laughton's Moreau used his shipwreck survivor to test how human his creations were, Lancaster has something more radical in mind: since his creations inevitably revert to their animal form, what he needs is someone intelligent who can tell him what changes they're going through, so decides to reverse his usual modus operandi and turn a human into an animal. Cue some decent make-up effects from John Chambers before this perverted Eden starts its own inevitably violent fall...

Unfortunately the film suffers a bit from the studio's decision to cut it down to avoid an R-rating, losing the shock ending in the process (even though the film's poster was built around one character's transformation from human back to animal) and somewhat downplaying the grotesque nature of the creatures, though whether that's intentional or simply down to Don Taylor's direction lacking atmosphere is debatable. On it's own terms it's fine, even if it plays more as an adventure yarn than horror.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsIsland of Dr. Moreau
By Humbi on 6 Nov. 2012
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
The 1977 version with Burt Lancaster in the leading role, is far superior to the remake of the 1990's with Marlon Brando, in spite of the lower budget for the production in 1977.
The blu-ray transfer is excellent with excellent colors and sharpness. I remember owning a 16mm print and it looks as good if not better. The soundtrack is an OK digital 5.1. For fans, it is a must have disc.
