40th anniversary, uncut version, 2k restoration

 

In 19th Century London a vicious sex maniac infiltrates the engagement soirée of Dr. Henry Jekyll to Miss Fanny Osbourne, ravishing and ravaging with equal abandon.

 

Directed by the infamous provocateur who gave us such erotic and aberrant fare as Immoral Tales and The Beast, this surreal staging of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale is as ripe as it is perverse. Murder and debauchery abound as the doctor (legendary Udo Kier), his curious fiancée (Marina Pierro), and shocked guests, including Patrick Magee and Howard Vernon, seek shelter in a labyrinthine Victorian mansion, as the wicked Mr. Hyde (Gérard Zalcberg) runs amok. A fantastic, nightmarish depiction of animal lust that demands your attention from the very start. Essential viewing for lovers of kinky, elevated exploitation.

 

“Beautiful, shocking, and highly memorable fusion of antiquity, sensuality and violence.”
