Sinopse

Edward Prendick, a scientist whose shipwreck leaves him stranded on a remote island, discovers the presence of Doctor Moreau, a disgraced physiologist. On the island, Moreau conducts experiments that transform animals into human-like beings known as the Beast Folk. These creatures live under a rigid system of laws intended to govern their behavior, yet the results of Moreau’s methods raise deep questions about identity and what it means to remain human. As Prendick learns more about the island and its operations, he is forced to confront the limits of scientific inquiry and the consequences of ambition unrestrained.
