Horror icons Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing team up once again for an Amicus take on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novella "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", with Lee occupying the role of the scientist and his deadly alter ego. Directed by Stephen Weeks, making his first feature aged twenty-two, I, Monster presents an inventive take on an iconic tale. (Powerhouse Films)

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.

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.
