I, Monster (1971)

I, Like It


This is definitely the story of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde with only the names changed (Dr. Marlowe and Mr. Blake played by Christopher Lee). It's wonderful addition to the Amicus films.

Dr. Marlowe experiments with the good vs evil within man and unleashes a monster that calls himself Mr. Blake. This evil side of Dr. Marlowe grows more hideous with every transformation into Mr. Blake, both physically and in personality. He goes so far as to murder. Dr. Utterson (Peter Cushing) is Dr. Marlowe's best friend and colleague but can he put an end to Blake/Marlowe's reign of terror?

Great late night film with the fantastic duo: Lee and Cushing.

8/10
