Marco Castellini

•
On an Irish island, a doctor inadvertently creates terrible monsters that massacre the inhabitants. Two scientists and a girl will manage to defeat them, but she will lose her life. Another horror film by Fischer, this time inspired by the famous story "The Island of Doctor Moreau" by H.G. Wells. Boring and rather predictable, it does not stand the test of time. The protagonist, needless to say, is once again Fisher's "favorite" actor, Peter Cushing.
