MOVIE REVIEW

Everything starts out great, but as soon as Dr. Moreau is slaughtered, all things go to hell. The Island of Dr. Moreau is horrid. It is hardly viewable. The animals turn into blood-thirty creatures, they don machine guns, and, well, that says it all right there. Val Kilmer is a drug addict, and there is a "nice" club scene where all the animals are having sex. If you want to see something decent, watch the older version. Full movie review »
