  • The Beast Men are horrifying. Their look was supposedly based in part on some of the more grisly injuries inflicted on veterans of the Great War, and the results certainly look convincing.
  • Dr. Moreau is no slouch in this department either. The sleaziness factor is off the charts in regards to Charles Laughton's performance. Even before the horrors truly begin, there is something deeply unsettling about him.
  • Ruth very nearly being molested by Ouran. Even worse, the beast was ordered to do so by Dr. Moreau himself.
  • Per Moreau's own admission, the process by which the Beast Men were given their current forms involved vivisection.
  • While Moreau's death at the hands of the Beast Men was well-deserved, by all appearances it was not particularly pleasant. Indeed, it is implied that the doctor himself was vivisected by his own creations.
