The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll

One of the best DVD sets I own is the six movie Hammer Films Icons of Suspense Collection. Although I not a big fan of Hammer’s horror movies I went ahead and bought the Icons of Horror Collection based on the quality of the suspense collection. This adaptation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was first of the four films I’ve watched from the set, and while the film was entertaining, it didn’t really deliver the goods on the horror. Its redeeming moments consisted of an exotic snake dance, lots of drugged out debauchery with Chistopher Lee and the cheesy make-up and voice modification on the actor who played Dr. Jekyll.
