DR. JEKYLL VS. THE WEREWOLF (1971, Anamorphic Widescreen) Paul Naschy, Jack Taylor, Shirley Corrigan, Mirta Miller, directed by León Klimovsky. Paul is back in his perpetual role as the werewolf—Waldemar Daninsky. Early in the film, he rescues a beautiful woman from bandits. They begin to fall in love. However, tired of being afflicted with lycanthropy and becoming a snarling werewolf with each full moon, he decides to seek help. He ends up seeking a cure from the grandson of the infamous Dr. Jekyll, whose proposed "cure" turns out to be very weird indeed. This is a better than usual Paul Naschy effort with some nice eerie London scenes, which is a locale not usually found in a Naschy film. Very nice color, from 35mm.
THE FEAST OF SATAN (1971 Anamorphic Widescreen) Krista Nell, Espartaco Santoni, Teresa Gimpera, Julio Pena. A lady arrives at a coastal village where her sister—now missing—has last been seen. The police investigate but she decides to snoop around a little herself. Unknown to her, she has come under the scrutiny of a mad scientist who has sinister plans for her. A series of horrifying events follow in this grandly made Euro-horror film. Watch for the gallery of female zombies in the dungeon. Nice color, widescreen, from 35mm.
