I, Monster is a 1971 British horror film directed by Stephen Weeks (his feature debut) for Amicus Productions. It is an adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with the main characters' names changed to Dr. Charles Marlowe and Mr. Edward Blake.

Plot

Psychologist Charles Marlowe (Christopher Lee) invents a drug which will release his patients' inhibitions - but when he tests it on himself he becomes cruel, immoral Edward Blake who descends into crime and eventually murder. Utterson (Peter Cushing), Marlowe's lawyer, believes that Blake is blackmailing his friend until he discovers the truth.
