I, Monster

In this chilling adaptation of the classic tale, Amicus presents "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde," reimagined with altered names for a fresh take on Robert Louis Stevenson's iconic story. Christopher Lee delivers a captivating performance as Dr. Marlowe, a scientist obsessed with exploring the depths of human nature through experimental drugs that promise to unlock inner inhibitions. As his research progresses, he inadvertently unleashes Mr. Blake (also portrayed by Lee), an ominous alter ego whose darkness grows with each transformation. The brilliant Peter Cushing joins the cast as Dr. Utterson, a close friend and colleague of Dr. Marlowe, who becomes entangled in this haunting tale of science gone terribly wrong. The film masterfully combines suspenseful storytelling with Lee's magnetic portrayal of duality, delving into the darker aspects of human nature and the consequences that follow when one dabbles in the unknown.
