It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

For a movie about Dr Jekyll and a were wolf I expected it to be a lot better. This is not a very well acted movie. Nor is it very well written. They could have lest let one character live. But no there had to have there tragic end. It was not very scary. It was a sequel to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. It was a big let down. Don't get me wrong. If I had not seen this movie and some one told me it was no good. I would to trust them. And if you do not trust me o.k. But be warned I liked Dracula Vs Frankenstein. I liked Freddy vs Jason. I liked King Kong vs Godzilla. I can't wait for Batman vs Superman come out I think that will be great. I am open minded about these kind of mixed movie things. So consider your self warned.

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.

Even the masterminds at Universal were grasping at straws by the end of their glorious horror cycle; in the end , the Monsters that had done most of the heavy lifting at the studio were reduced to little more than cameos in half-hearted comedies. Paul Naschy, a Universal monster wannabe who made good, not only continued on in the Grand (Guignol) tradition (rather than allow himself or HIS wolfman to be downgraded to a comedic foil), he added his own twist(s) to the myth(s). In FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN, Lon Chaney, Jr. seeks the sweet surcease of Death by trying to divest himself of Supernatural Energy by having said energy transferred to Dr. Frankenstein's patchwork pariah. It was an interesting idea, but Naschy goes them one better by having HIS wolfman actually pay a visit to another doctor- Jekyll. His intention is to have the "animal" side of his nature exorcised. Things don't go quite as he'd planned and, before you can say "Howl at the moon," Naschy's transforming into... Mr. Hyde. He does a very good job as Hyde, with a minimum of very effective makeup. DR. JEKYLL MEETS THE WOLFMAN is (by far) the best of the Naschy movies I've seen thus far; too bad Universal didn't tough it out and venture more often into this kind of Dark Terrain. (Benicio Del Toro, are you listening...?)

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.
