Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Bezenby I think this is the fifth Paul Naschy werewolf film, but who knows. This one starts out with an English fellow heading out for Transylvania to visit his parent's graves, with his cute wife in tow, only for the both of them to discover a horribly burned man lurking about the place. This film details the seventies approach to disability when the wife starts screaming bloody murder and the English guy throws a brick at the guy.At a local bar, the barman describes the entire area as being full of thieves and cutthroats and says maybe it's a bad idea to go to the old creepy cemetery that's next to the old creepy castle that the local monster lives in, but off they go anyway, which results in three local brothers robbing their car, killing the English guy, and trying to rape the Justine, his wife. I say try because Paul Naschy turns up and brutally murders two of the brothers (one by dropping a huge rock on the guy's face!).Paul of course is a werewolf with a witch sidekick and when this robber guy starts going on about revenge and involving the locals it doesn't turn out right for anyone, as more villagers end up dead, the rest get out the pitchforks and torches, and Paul has to high tail it to England so the plot can get even more stupid. I also noted that for some reason one villager had a gigantic pitchfork that was much larger than the others. Must have been compensating for something. Now Justine has quickly got over her husband being murdered and is in love with Paul, so she goes to Dr Jekyll to get him cured. In a plot move that makes virtually no sense whatsoever, Jekyll proposes that they inject Paul with some injection that will make Mister Hyde manifest in Paul (?) so that they can then isolate the evil in him and kill him. So not only has Paul got to put up with the werewolf stuff, now he's turned into a sex-crazed hedonist too!This might have actually worked out if Dr Jekyll didn't have a jealous female sidekick who wasn't happy with Jekyll trying to help out an unrequited love. Next thing you know Hyde is out rampaging around London, but then again you only get to see that if you have the uncut version as it involves ravaging hookers and whipping Justine. Best thing about this film (apart from the crazy storyline) was that any time you started to think it would get boring - it didn't! I thought things would slow down a lot once Paul got to London for his cure, but then, in the lift on the way up to his appointment, the lift broke down and trapped him with a nurse until the moon rose, causing a werewolf rampage! I love these films!It doesn't skimp on the gore and the only thing missing from the Mill Creek version is the nudity*, which you're not going to miss anyway if you watching an endless list of these films. Naschy's Mr Hyde was funny too, including the way he just exits the film without any fuss.*I'm talking crap - it's also missing the opening credits.

BA_Harrison Newlyweds Imre (José Marco) and Justine (Shirley Corrigan) travel to the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania for their honeymoon, where Imre intends to visit the graves of his murdered parents (the man sure knows how to show his new wife a good time). Ignoring warnings from a superstitious local who tells them that the cemetery is a place of evil, the couple are attacked by a gang of local villains that try to break into their car. Imre is stabbed to death, and Justine narrowly avoids being raped when Waldemar Daninsky (Paul Naschy) leaps to her assistance (crushing one guy's face with a rock in the process).Waldemar carries Justine to his castle, which is also home to a leprous man who has zero bearing on the plot, and an old lady whom the locals believe is a witch, and who tells Justine of Waldemar's 'illness': whenever the full moon rises, he turns into a werewolf!!! After Waldemar, in hairy form, kills several more villagers, a rabble of pitchfork wielding locals hack off the old woman's head, stick it on a pole, and proceed to storm the castle. Waldemar and Justine sneak out the back door and flee to London, where they enlist the help of Dr. Jekyll (Jack Taylor), whose infamous grandfather's personality-altering serum might be able to release Daninsky from his curse.The sixth film in Paul Naschy's Waldemar Daninsky series, Dr. Jekyll vs. the Werewolf is just as silly as the title suggests, offering up all manner of Euro-monster-mash madness. Naschy not only sports one of his more impressive looking werewolf make-ups, but also looks sufficiently slimy as Mr. Hyde, whose personality he adopts when injected by Jekyll's serum. The daft plot also includes a treacherous assistant for Jekyll in the form of Sandra (Mirta Miller), sees Hyde enjoying enjoying London's swinging nightlife (which allows for some particularly hilarious gyrating from a podium dancer), and provides several excuses for some cheesy gore.N.B.: There are three edits of this film doing the rounds. My middling rating of 5/10 is for the heavily edited Spanish version that came as part of my Mill Creek Pure Terror box-set, and which is notably bereft of any gratuitous nudity (what's a Euro-horror without some boobs to go with the blood?). The US edit, however, does feature some nudity in the last half hour, while the fullest cut—the German version—delivers even more bare flesh, with Justine's breasts getting an airing during her attack, and Waldemar's werewolf tearing open his victims' clothes before tearing out their throats, all of which undoubtedly adds to the fun.

lastliberal The sixth of the 13 Waldemar Daninsky / Wolfman films by Paul Naschy. In this film he plays three roles. He is also Mr. Hyde.In this tale, the Count saves Justine (Shirley Corrigan) from the clutches of three slobbering rapists who have just murdered her husband. He consoles the grieving widow, and they spirit off to London just ahead of an angry mob of villagers. They seek out Dr. Jekyll (Jack Taylor) to cure his lycanthropy.Unfortunately, a nurse (Marisol Delgado) and a streetwalker (María Luisa Tovar) are ravaged by the werewolf before the formula can be perfected.Things take a nasty turn and the Count is turned into Mr. Hyde. He is even more evil than the werewolf.The story ends as all werewolf movies do, leaving you to wonder how he will return seven more times.

bensonmum2 A couple honeymooning in Transylvania is attacked by a ruthless group of killers. With the husband dead, the new bride, Justine (Shirley Corrigan), finds safety in the home of her rescuer, Waldemar (Paul Naschy). But Justin learns of Waldemar's "illness" that causes him to turn into a werewolf when the moon is full. Justine is certain that her friend in London, Dr. Jekyll (Jack Taylor), may be able to help Waldemar. Will Dr. Jekyll's cure work? Or will more people die at the hands of the werewolf? What Works: Nothing. I can't think of anything in Dr. Jekyll vs. the Werewolf worth recommending. It's really quite bad. I haven't rated it a 1/10 because, in comparison, it's not as wretched as most of the movies I've rated at the very bottom.What Doesn't Work: Paul Naschy. I realize that Naschy made a boatload of werewolf movies and is generally considered a cult icon. Why? I don't know. I've never understood the appeal of Naschy or his brand of werewolf. Naschy is one of the more unappealing "stars" of horror. He is terrible at playing the sympathetic figure, which I think is necessary for the character of the tormented werewolf. Also, Naschy is just too small to effectively play the role. His midget werewolf just doesn't work for me.The Acting. None of the acting, including Naschy, is very good. The worst is Corrigan as the stranded bride, Justine. She only appears capable of two emotions: fear, which she is terrible at playing and always ends in screaming, and sadness, which is equally annoying and always ends in crying. What range! The Lack of Anything Found in a Good Horror Movie. The things I look for in a horror movie include atmosphere, suspense, tension, and plot. You can forget about atmosphere, suspense, and tension. All the horror elements in Dr. Jekyll vs. the Werewolf are treated like everyday, common occurrences and nothing to be afraid of. In fact, the group who kills the husband is more menacing than the werewolf. As for plot, the movie does have one, but it makes so little sense and is filled with the most ridiculous sounding science that it's impossible to take seriously.In the end, I found Dr. Jekyll vs. the Werewolf to be a complete waste of time. I don't remember enjoying a single frame. And it's not cheesy enough to be bad in that "so bad it's good" sort of way. I really do try to enjoy Naschy's films. I'll keep trying, but for now, I'm not impressed.
