Wells. Stan Winston’s Creature Workshop (Jurassic Park) brought the frighteningly real special effects to life.
Dr. Moreau is a brilliant geneticist on the brink of superseding evolution. When a U.N. diplomat visits Moreau’s island laboratory, he uncovers fantastic but brutal experiments that turn animal life forms into human-like beasts.
