Dr. Charles Marlowe is on the verge of a medical breakthrough: He's devised a drug capable of releasing people's deepest inhibitions. But when he uses the drug on himself, he releases something else -- a horrifying alter ego named Mr. Blake. (Netflix)

The umpteenth take of the story of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, this time starring the demonic Christopher Lee (when this guy starts smiling at you, you should be long gone) and in a sort of ugly atmosphere of gloomy London, but it’s not very interesting. Peter Cushing didn't impress in a supporting role, it was just so mundane. ()
Studio Amicus occasionally came up with something interesting, but the more films you see from them, the more you'll feel that it's truly just a studio that tried to compete with the production company Hammer and generally didn't achieve the same quality as its more famous counterpart. The film I, Monster is proof of that. Christopher Lee tries his best, but the story simply isn't strong enough or different enough from the classic Jekyll concept. ()
