The Island of Dr. Moreau 1977

Really quite boring, with awkward '70s 'B-movie' acting and very awkward editing, especially in the love scenes. The incredibly generic and dated score doesn't help create any atmosphere, either. I had already seen Carrera's previous film, and it's also a kind of schloky sci-fi film, but it's more modern, and plays to its strengths. Despite that it has a lower rating than this one, which I find unfitting from a standpoint of pure enjoyment. This one's story requires a much better execution to be taken seriously, or to be interesting. I made it about 3/4 the way through. If any film is not interesting in the first 20 minutes, there's a slim chance it will turn, but halfway or more and it's just time you'll never get back.
