That’s an interesting movie, it’s like a train wreck lol… though it’s been years since i’ve seen it. Seems like such a lost opportunity, i would still like to see another go at adapting it as either a movie or mini-series.
A kind of weird take on the concept that i enjoyed to some degree is an anime movie called Blue Sub No.6. It’s a mashup of Island of Dr. Moreau and post-apocalyptic/WW3 story where the genetically created creatures attack mankind and have almost decimated all society, and are trying to return the world back in the hands of nature. It’s been a while since i’ve seen it but i remember it fondly.
