The Island of Lost Souls (1932) [Horror, Sci-Fi]
Directed Erle C. Kenton
Screenplay Waldemar Young and Philip Wylie, H.G. Wells (novel)
This nearly 100 year old film is primitive yet effective. As is often the case with older films that lack the visual sophistication of modern movies, the screenplay is everything. The most important elements are related through dialogue, not in action. The story is mesmerizing, beginning with shipwrecked man adrift at sea and ending the revolt of pack of wild human-animal hybrids as the extract horrifying revenge on their creator.
