   Interesting film indeed. Intense, twisted climax - and very well filmed. Charles Laughton's performance is extremely enjoyable to watch, as expected. 11 years 2 months ago

   Pulpy, schlocky fun, although a megolomaniacal white man whipping "savages" into submission is disturbing when you think about it. As usual the south seas serve as a focal point of colonial desire (the panther woman particularly), "primitive" fear and experimentation, although I'm certain the film is far from self-reflexive about it. Worth thinking about, on one level, but mostly it's just stupidly entertaining. Laughton is pretty good as Moreau, though.
   Also, MrMushroom, that is exactly what I was thinking! 9 years 6 months ago
