El Extraneo Case del Hombre y La Bestia (1951)

Yet again, Dr. Henry Jekyll has decided to try to discover the dark side of man and the nature of evil, but ends up releasing the dark side. This time, however, the movie is made in Argentina, which at least lends it some level of interest.

This was a dream project of actor/director Mario Soffici, who is the lead. That said, if you’re expecting a movie filled with action, this is not the one you are looking for. It’s mostly talking and even when Mr. Hyde shows up, he just has an odd hairstyle and knocks a kid down. That’s it — nothing much to report of how wild he can be.

That said, how often are you going to get to watch a 1950’s horror movie from Argentina?

You can watch this on YouTube.
