"I have seen the devil in my microscope, and I have chained him." - Dr. Moreau (Marlon Brando)

Hyena-Swine, Boar Man, Bison Man, Fox Lady, Sow Lady, Melting Bulldog ... this is the island that Dr. Moreau has sown (story by H.G.Wells)

Brando (as the doctor) is an adamantly convincing godfather of animals. His daughter Aissa (Fairuza Balk) and his assistant Montgomery (Val Kilmer) must reap the fruits of his labor.

Ron Perlman (Sayer of the Law) and Temuera Morrison (Azazello) add an extra spice that piquantly compliments the creator's vile kingdom.

If in the mood for something off the beaten path - don't hesitate.
