Dread by the Decade: Island of Lost Souls

👻 You can support or commission me on Ko-Fi! ❤️

Source Material: The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells Year: 1932 Genre: Sci-Fi Horror, Creature Feature Rating: UR (Recommended: PG-13) Country of Origin: United States Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 10 minutes

Director: Erle C. Kenton Cinematographer: Karl Struss Writers: Waldemar Young, Philip Wylie Cast: Charles Laughton, Richard Arlen, Arthur Hohl, Kathleen Burke, Leila Hyams, Stanley Fields

Plot: A shipwrecked sailor finds himself on an island where a mad doctor is blurring the lines between man and beast.

Review: Provocative and strange, Island of Lost Souls raises ethical questions, before providing its own deeply unsettling answers.

Overall Rating: 4/5

Story: 4/5 - An intriguing exploration of science without morals and what it means to be human. Hampered some by the reductive portrayal of the islands' occupants and potentially racist undertones.

Performances: 4/5 - Laughton is a delightful mix of campy and sinister, and balanced well by Hohl's somberness. The rest of the cast is sympathetic, with Fields' arc being my favorite.

Cinematography: 4.5/5 - Gorgeous use of shadows.

Editing: 4/5

Effects: 4/5 - Well employed fog and fire.

Sets: 5/5 - A mix of real locations and sets, with the wild jungle encroaching upon Moreau's tidy compound reflecting his own melding of nature and science.

Costumes & Make-Up: 5/5 - The creature makeup for this film was very innovative. The one-hoofed man was especially great.

Film Fact: This movie was banned in many countries and was one of the most difficult restorations for the Criterion Collection, as it had been heavily edited for censorship reasons.

Trigger Warnings:

Misogyny (uncritical; of the era)

Moderate violence (largely off-screen)

Disturbing themes of animal/human experimentation

Body horror

Unethical medical scene (not graphic)

Torture and medical abuse (largely off screen)

It is implied that a character wants a woman to be raped
