Doctor Jekyll y el Hombre Lobo (1972)

Regia Films (Spain)
Directed by Leon Klimovsky
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Code Red)

Naschy is back as the wolfman for the sixth time. He's living in an isolated castle in Transylvania when he rescues pretty Shirley Corrigan from villagers who just murdered her husband. She eventually falls in love with the human side of Naschy. Witnessing his transformation into a werewolf one night, she takes him to London where she hopes her friend Dr. Jekyll can cure him. Instead, his serum turns him into Mr. Hyde and he goes on a killing rampage through the seedier side of town. So now poor Naschy has three personalities and is more confused than ever. His final transformation from Hyde to werewolf takes place on a disco dance floor using a strobe light effect. The early scenes in Transylvania at least have some atmosphere, but the plot loses all credibility when the action shifts to London.
