Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Interesteg What makes it different from others?

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Mikel3 This film can best be described as slow moving and depressing. On the plus side It does have decent acting, quirky characters and a curvaceous 1950s blonde. The story itself is about a skilled surgeon living on a lonely tropical Island. One of those deserted islands that some how manage to have a huge fortress like house built on them. He lives there with just his wife (the blonde), an assistant, and a few natives for servants (a young woman and her little brother). The other natives have left the island due to the doctors experiments, others have been killed. One day the lone survivor of a shipwreck washes up on their shore. He is told they have no contact with civilization. A ship comes only four times a year to deliver supplies. He will need to wait another two months for the ship. Since he is trapped there he eventually becomes the love interest for the wife. Her husband, the doctor, is to busy with his experiments to give her the attentions she craves. It seems that the Doc received his degree from the Dr. Moreau School of Mad Medicine. He has found a way to transform an animal into a creature resembling a man. In this case he has chosen an unfortunate panther for the subject of his experiments. Of course he makes it clear he's doing this not for his own sick reasons but, "for the benefit of all mankind". Yes, that standard mad Dr. excuse pops up once again. Evidently there are not enough of us humans on this earth arriving the old fashion way, this guy want's to turn animals into men too. Basically it's a rip off of H.G. Wells' 'The Island of Dr. Moreau'. here with just one animal being transformed, a slightly different story and a blonde adulteress wife. My guess is the story had just enough changes so the producers could not to be sued but the H.G. Wells estate.There is one 'William Castle like' fun gimmick in the film. At the beginning a warning from the management appears saying that one scene is so frightening that a bell will ring to warn the squeamish when to close there eyes. About three quarters of the way into the film I had forgotten this and heard a sound like an old phone ringing. I thought a phone was ringing in the movie and wondered why nobody answered it. A phone on a deserted island with no way to contact the outside world ? Then I realized this must be the warning signal ! I waited for the scary scene I was warned of. After about two minutes, I realized that a short close up of a surgical incision being made must have been what the warning was for. I hardly even noticed the scene ! In today's world you would see ten times worse on just about any crime show autopsy scene like on NCIS. How times have changed and how jaded we have become to this sort of thing since the innocence of the 1950s.I spent most of the movie rooting for the poor panther to get his revenge and not really caring about the rest of the characters. I almost dosed off a few times waiting for the predictable ending. My advice is to skip this one and use the time instead to watch the classic 1932 'Island of Lost Souls'.

MartinHafer "Terror is a Man" is a very, very low-budget film but despite this it's still a pretty good version of the classic H.G. Wells story "The Island of Lost Souls". So, despite being made in the Philippines, having a MOSTLY unknown cast and a relatively cheesy creature, the film was deftly made and featured a nice appearance by Francis Lederer as the mad doctor.The film begins with a man in a lifeboat washing up on the shores of a mostly deserted island in the Pacific. He soon learns that only about a half dozen people live there and they all work for a weirdo doctor who is doing weird experiments. What, exactly, this experiment is doesn't become apparent until later, when you learn the crazy guy is trying to 'evolve' creatures into human form. What this really means are 50 or more surgeries that cause excruciating pain for the poor creature--all in the name of 'science'.Unlike the original tale, there is only the one creature and there's a romance tossed in to boot. But, good suspense, acting and a credible explanation for why you don't see much of the creature all work to make a spooky and worthy horror film.By the way, I did have one question that I thought of while watching the film. If the folks have been on this island for two years, how does the Doctor's wife have a perm?!

whpratt1 This is a story about a scientist who lives on a remote island with his attractive wife and they thought this island would be a paradise for the both of them and it was for about two years.The doctor had made some experiments on a human being and transformed this creature into a wild animal who obeyed him and his wife. However, a ship wrecked stranger appears on the island and he becomes quite involved with the doctor and also his sexy wife.After a few months the village people all decide to leave this island because of so many deaths which are happening. The blonde wife asks the stranger to leave the island with her after he tells her he is in love with her.Entertaining film, but rather boring considering it was on a B Budget.

Claudio Carvalho The castaway William Fitzgerald (Richard Derr) is rescued in an island by Dr. Charles Girard (Francis Lederer), his lonely wife Frances Girard (Greta Thyssen) and his assistant Walter Perrera (Oscar Keesee Jr.). A couple of days later, Fitzgerald has an affair with Frances and realizes that the unethical and insane Dr. Girard is developing sick experiments and transforming a panther into a man-like creature. Meanwhile, the monster escapes from the laboratory, killing Walter and the servant Celina and seizing and capturing Frances with him. Fitzgerald and Dr. Girard chase the being along the night."Terror is a Man" is a watchable rip-off of "The Island of Dr. Moreau", with a monster that behaves like The Creature in "Frankenstein" and with the appearance of The Mummy. The story is silly, but considering that it is a very low-budget and theatrical B-movie, entertains. Unfortunately, the shameful DVD released in Brazil by the distributor Fantasy shows a completely damaged copy, "jumping" many scenes and making parts of the story impossible to be understood. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Criatura Sangrenta" ("Blood Creature")
