The only one way to find out if it works on humans is to
be part of the experiment himself...
As he consumes this grisly stuff it becomes clear that the
fresher the corpses the more effective their byproducts. As
a result Dr Jekyll becomes a client of the famous pair of
grave robbers Burke and Hare.
When they are caught he has to find his own victims amongst
the prostitutes of Whitechapel and he becomes Jack the Ripper.
With hormone supplies organised, the Doctor starts to notice
sexual changes - then one night after a painful seizure he
changes into a woman. She is a voluptuous creature who, he
explains to interested neighbours, is his widowed sister Mrs
Hyde (Martine Beswick).
He is then condemned to a dual life of half male, half female
with each part competing for dominance; one good and the other
evil.
Dr Jekyll & Sister Hyde is one of the better Hammer Film
presentations, produced by Dick Clements (The Avengers) and
directed by Roy Ward Baker (The Vampire Lovers).
Supported by three excellent leads Ralph Bates (Lust For
A Vampire), Gerald Sim (Dr Phibes Rises Again) and Martine
Beswick (One Million Years BC). This movie contains a delicious
concoction of moral depravity, blood, sex and slaughter.
Isn't that what good horror flicks are all about?
Conclusion: Movie 80% Extras: 50%
