The Twilight People (1972)

The Twilight People: Directed by Eddie Romero. With John Ashley, Pat Woodell, Jan Merlin, Charles Macaulay. A kidnapped diver is taken to an island inhabited by a mad scientist and his half-animal, half-human creations.

“From director Eddie Romero (AKA Enrique Moreno), the Filipino exploitation filmmaker behind jungle classics like u0026quot;Black Mama White Mamau0026quot; and u0026quot;Savage Sistersu0026quot; comes this very silly, but very entertaining ripoff of H.G. Wellsu0026#39; u0026quot;The Island of Dr. Moreau.u0026quot; A scuba diver is snatched out of the water and and finds himself on an island where a mad scientist has created monstrous half-man/half-animal creatures. The Moreau figure rules over his beasts with an iron fist, and as youu0026#39;d expect, they rebel against him in a violent bloody fashion. Itu0026#39;s all amateurishly made and certainly made on the cheap, but it is entertaining. To add to the enjoyment level of this nonsense is Pam Grier in a before-she-was-famous role as the u0026quot;Panther Woman.u0026quot; Certainly not a good film, but I was entertained.”
