Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Twisted Sister
This atmospheric mix of the greatest hits of Victorian crime (The Ripper, Burke & Hare) plus a unique take on Stevenson's classic from the pen of master Brian Clemens is a solid late Hammer entry. Although it may not provide the kinky thrills that the ads promised for this when it was first released, it's got some chilling passages and a terrific climax. Very good cast, particularly Ralph Bates who makes the character sympathetic, which isn't easy as prior to the advent of Sister Hyde he is Jack the Ripper, let's face it. (I also liked that the goody-two-shoes heroine is so believable as well, which I think is a Clemens touch. She's very well played.) Just like Captain Kronos, Clemens is on hand for a terrific commentary track.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Whether Male Or Female, Dr. Jekyll Is A Vicious Serial Killer
Was this the best theatrical version of Jack the Ripper I've ever seen? Or was it the best theatrical version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? All I know is that Hammer Film Productions produced another winner with "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde." According to this tale of gothic horror, the infamous Jack the Ripper was actually Dr. Jekyll.

Dr. Jekyll is working hard to find the elixir of eternal life. Female hormones seem to be the solution. At first he acquires fresh corpses of young women from two unscrupulous grave robbers. Unfortunately, when the grave robbers are brought to justice, the good doctor must begin killing prostitutes in order to acquire the female hormones.

Dr. Jekyll drinks the elixir which has an unexpected side effect. He turns into his female alter ego. He tells everyone that the woman staying with him is his divorced sister, Mrs. Hyde. Soon Mrs. Hyde begins plotting to kill everyone in Dr. Jekyll's life in order to become the dominant personality.

Fog enshrouded sets, gorgeous costumes, a great musical score, bloody violence, and great acting from the leads create an unforgettable experience in gothic horror. Hammer veterans Ralph Bates ("Taste the Blood of Dracula," "The Horror of Frankenstein," and "Lust for a Vampire") and Martine Beswick ("Prehistoric Women" and "One Million Years B.C.") are perfect as the rival siblings. They actually could pass as twins. They bare a striking resemblance.

The upstairs neighbor, Howard (Lewis Fiander of Narcisco Ibanez Serrador`s "Who Can Kill a Child?"), falls in love with the divorced Mrs. Hyde. Meanwhile, Howard's sister, Susan (Susan Broderick), falls in love with Dr. Jekyll. This leads to quite a dilemma.

"Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde" is highly recommended for fans of gothic horror, Hammer Film Productions, and the legend of Jack the Ripper. Don't let the title fool you. This film is serious horror and well ahead of its time in regards to gender confusion. Audiences in the early seventies must've been extremely repulsed by the idea of a man buying beautiful red gowns because he is confused about his sexuality.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde
I had heard stories from people about the bad things that happened to them when they purchased things online. I was definitely surprised when I received the DVD and was definitely excellent quality.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - stunning chiller from Hammer
One of Hammer's finer productions of the 1970s, DR JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE offers a refreshing slant on the oft-told Robert Louis Stevenson tale. With direction from Roy Ward Baker (THE VAMPIRE LOVERS) and a sweeping lush musical score by David Whitaker, this is an enjoyable ride.

Ambitious and naive Doctor Jekyll (Ralph Bates) sets out to create vaccines for dangerous diseases but instead stumbles across a serum taken from the glands of young females. Using himself as a human guinea pig, he takes the potion and is transformed into a female version of himself. Using the alias of Mrs Hyde (Martine Beswick), his widowed sister, he sets out to harvest the glands of young female victims. With the body-count rising and Jekyll/Hyde's life spiralling out of control, madness is only around the corner... Adding complications is Jekyll's young female neighbour Susan (Susan Broderick) who develops a crush on him, while her brother Howard (Lewis Fiander) becomes infatuated with the elusive Mrs Hyde.

Ralph Bates and Martine Beswick handle the complicated title roles well, and really do look like each other. The transformation sequences are handled with great skill and the final scene (where the two continually morph) is amazing. Susan Broderick and Lewis Fiander make the most out of thankless, one-dimensional roles. Art director Robert Jones recreates the gaslight setting of the story with great success. With Julia Wright, Ivor Dean, Tony Calvin, Dorothy Alison, Paul Whitsun-Jones, Gerald Sim and Philip Madoc.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - DR. JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE
DR. JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE IS ON ONE OF THE BETTER MOVIES OF THE HAMMER FILM COLLECTION. A REAL GENDER BENDER. FIRST HAND OF LOOKING AT THE FIGHT OF SEXES. IF YOU HAD NOT SEEN THIS MOVIES PLEASE DO SO. I WON'T BE SURPRISE IF THEY DID RECREATION OF THIS MOVIE.
