Charles Laughton takes science into his own hands in Island of Lost Souls.
A twisted treasure from Hollywood’s pre-Code horror heyday, the 1932 film Island of Lost Souls is a cautionary tale of science run amok, adapted from H. G. Wells’s novel The Island of Doctor Moreau.
In one of his first major movie roles, Charles Laughton plays a mad doctor conducting ghastly genetic experiments on a remote island in the South Seas, much to the fear and disgust of the shipwrecked sailor (Richard Arlen) who finds himself trapped there.
Directed by Erle C. Kenton (House of Frankenstein) and elegantly shot by Karl Struss (a two-time cinematography Oscar winner for 1927’s Sunrise and 1941’s Aloma of the South Seas), the movie also features groundbreaking makeup effects and a gruesome co-starring turn by Bela Lugosi.
