I, Monster (1971)
6/10
Does not star Charlize Theron

Interesting Jekyll and Hyde Hybrid updated to the 70's with a ridiculous 'Drugs are bad for you' underlying theme.

Christopher Lee plays a scientist who discovers a serum that digs into hidden or repressed emotions. After making a cat go berserk, a repressed woman go nympho, and a badgering old coot get babylike, he tries it on himself, which transforms him into Lon Chaney in 'London After Midnight' it seems. Yes, complete with top hat, cap and wild teeth, Lee goes nuts on the town, taking out whatever comes his way, and yes, that comes complete with stalking a woman of the night in the Empty Factory That Has No Employees But They Left The Machinery Running. Only Peter Cushing can solve this dastardly mystery for us (hint, the good Christopher Lee has his bad wig combed). Pretty soon though, Lee is hooked on the drug, and just goes completely nuts! So yeah, can you guess the drug symbolism here? Pretty obvious and wacky, but pretty fun watching all the same.
