Positive Experience/Entertaining? Not really--I suppose it was fine for a background movie, but the story was so cliche, even for its time.


Technically any good? It was reasonably acted, but this movie treads upon well traveled ground. Some of the makeup FX are good, but generally, this is just your standard "Jekyl and Hyde" story mixed in with a love triangle between a mad(ish) scientist, his dedicated (if amoral) assistant and a hot blonde. Some of the set pieces were nice. Sadly, even for a bad B-movie, the script was almost completely forgettable.


How did it leave me feeling? Meh. Like I said, this is just like a half-dozen other "J&H" stories that have been "borrowed" for scripts of other bad movies. I think MST3K did three or four of them (at least) with almost the exact same plot structure (LEACH WOMAN comes to mind the quickest).


Final Rating? DNS - Do Not See - unless you happen to be jonesing for a bad b-movie to quip to, MST3K-style, this movie isn't worth bothering with.
