Revealing mistakes: After the scene of the beast-men killing Moreau, while Sayer of the Law holds up his blood-stained hands in front of his face, one of them can be seen without the make-up and in the form of a natural human hand, rather incongruent with the other animal-like hand. more

The best version!, 11 October 2001
10/10
Author: kingplanet (bandkking@bellsouth.net) from Atlanta, Georgia USA

This verson of the HG Wells story is the best and most entertaining ever filmed. Director Don Taylor makes this film shine with creepiness and horror. Laurance Rosenthal's score is hard to find, but a great soundtrack when you can track it down. The late Burt Lancaster is fantastic and the "mad" doctor and all the make-up effects are superb! See this one!
