Les créatures (1966)

Synopsis: After an accident, writer moves to an island. 

Appraisal: Helped by an ominous soundtrack, the beginning of "Les Créatures" is full of mystery and atmosphere. As the plot takes shape, and the viewer begins to realize what is going on, that sense of mystery is replaced by amusement and the curiosity to see the developments of the strange game. There are things that seem gratuitous, like the conversations with animals. On the whole, however, the film is fun to watch, and intelligently constructed. 

Rating: 65
