Surprisingly better than I expected, this has two monsters joined at the fang who suffered each from two faces. It makes sense that at some point, they would meet up, but not at Universal who had already played around with Wolfie but not Jekkie. Paul Naschy plays the werewolf and his human alter ego, with Jack Taylor as Dr. Jekyll turning Naschy also into Mr. Hyde. This has the structure of two different stories connected into one as the first half is set in the countryside and definitely more Gothic.
The second half moves to swinging London where Nashy's cheap looking wolfman mask creates a lot of trouble. His Jekyll is less threatening and actually a rather annoying character, the bubble bursting party dude who brings everybody down just by entering a room. While there are definitely some bloody scenes, much of the horror is simply implied but there are definitely some gruesome deaths. It's much more enjoyable than most of the early 1970s horror schlock, and certainly well thought out as far as plot goes even if the script isn't very strong.
