The doctor's daughter, Neva (Patricia Woodell), is assisting in the nefarious experiments, though she has begun to doubt the legitimacy of her father's scientific work. Gordon's main henchman, Steinman (Jan Merlin), would like nothing more for Farrell to escape, as he views the handsome captive as a worthy adversary and longs to track him through the jungle as human prey. When Neva falls in love with Farrell, she betrays her father and frees him, fleeing with a group of Gordon's experiments, bestial homo sapiens who have been crossed with bats, panthers, antelopes, and other animals. Meanwhile, Farrell captures the doctor and makes his way through the jungle to meet up with Neva on the island's dock, where they intend to make their way to freedom. ~ Fred Beldin, Rovi

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
The whole production is clumsily made, with woeful acting, terrible music, abrupt edits, and virtually no pacing. It was perfectly crafted for the drive-in movie crowd.

John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
Bless the folks at VCI Home Video who still know how to have a good time. The Twilight People is about as awkward and incompetent a monster movie as one could imagine.
