Rated - 3 starsVery good

Clever version of the old Dr Jekyll and Hyde tale, starring Christopher Lee as the "monster".

Good make-up here for 1971. And a very gloomy, old Victorian setting, plus intelligent acting, make this movie a must see for all fans of 1970s' British horror.

Peter Cushing is once again cast as the man who has to put evils to rights.

Worth renting on a cold Winter's night when the ghouls are outside, tapping on the windows!!

Christopher Lee dominates the film.Peter Cushing has little to do.Many obstructing camera angles,as the film was originally made in 3D.
