If I didn't read the movie description before I watched this film, I would swear it is about a doctor who transforms a panther into a man!

One of the things I like most about this film is the fact that the writer used a beast to man transformation scenario insted of the standard man to beast. Much like Frankenstein, the line is blurred on who is the true monster. As the title says, in this one, man (or, more to the point, science without a moral compass) is the true terror.
The film is dated. It can't help but be so. All told though, the creature effects were passable for its day and better than quite a few contemporaries sporting way larger budgets!
Here's hoping the panther-man found a nice secluded island with some ship-wrecked, tanked up sorority girls and he's knee deep in kittens!

basically this is another re-telling of the island of lost souls/island of dr. moreau. once again a sailor gets shipwrecked on an island with a mad scientist who has created a mutant(s) who goes on a rampage. this import from the philippines is actually much more cohesive than the fairly recent marlon brando version and it is much more exciting than the burt lancaster version of 1977. it is no where near being in the league with the classic bela lugosi/island of lost souls. i am sure it is due to budget limitations that here only one genetically altered being is created. my only complaint is there is not enough of the panther man, but the lovely greta thyssen much more than makes up for that deficiency. she is a sight to behold. if you are in the mood for a 50's style sci-fi/horror film with moody black and white photography on an isolated setting with a gorgeous woman in peril from a seldom seen panther man then this is the film for you.
