Dr. Jekyll and the Werewolf

Doctor Jekyll y el Hombre Lobo

1972 ·1h 26m · ★ 5.9 (18)

Waldemar Daninsky comes to swinging seventies' London, seeking a cure to his malady. Unfortunately, he meets Dr. Jekyll who injects him with a serum that turns him into the lascivious killer Mr. Hyde. In his top hat and black cloak, Hyde haunts the fleshpots of Soho, while two gorgeous women fight for possession of his wolfman soul...

Why it matters

A lurid seventies mash-up that fuses classic Jekyll and Hyde duality with Eurowolf-style lycanthropy, soaked in Soho’s sleazy underbelly.

  • Paul Naschy’s Waldemar Daninsky is the werewolf legend you didn’t know you needed—equal parts tragic and horny monster.
  • Practical effects and makeup by Naschy himself lean into deliciously cheap but charmingly grotesque transformations.
  • A cult curiosity for fans of Euro-horror’s grindhouse flair and the era’s permissive, pulpy take on classic monsters.
  • More sexploitation than psychological horror, making it a time capsule of 1970s genre blending and London’s shadowy nightlife.
