SUMMARY ++++++++
This is a classic storyline, told with a slight twist but fails to deliver I feel. The film looks very dated now. I am a huge fan of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, but prefer films such as Satanic Rites of Dracula, where what you see is what you get.
A production of 'Jekyll And Hyde' with the characters' names changed to Marlow and Blake. Dr Marlowe carries out experiments on drugs that are supposed to release inhibitions while Mr Blake becomes more hideous with each transformation.
