Review – Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde

In this bizarre twist on Stephenson's classic, the good doctor turns into an attractive-yet-evil woman rather than a brute. Oh, and s/he is also Jack the Ripper. Oh, and s/he is also in league with Burke and Hare. It almost goes without saying that the errors in chronology and geography aren't exactly the worst part of the production. That distinction belongs to the complete lack of context or purpose for the gender-swapping variation. We get a brief (and somewhat less than plausible) explanation for why the Hyde formula turns its drinker into a woman. But beyond that, she might just as well have been any other Hyde. Oh, well. Any excuse for building some female partial frontal nudity into a Hammer production. Mildly amusing
