VividSimon Simply Perfect

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Woodyanders Uptight and controversial therapist Dr. Jackie Stevenson (an excellent performance by the ravishing Julian Wells) concocts an experimental serum that separates the pure and lustful halves of the female psyche. After first trying out the serum on depressed patient Martine (a fine and appealing portrayal by the adorable Misty Mundae), Jackie decides to use the serum on herself and transforms into Heidi, an aggressive and voracious lesbian who roams the streets looking for lovely young ladies to seduce. Heidi meets and falls for Dawn (also played by Mundae), a sweet hooker who may not be as innocent as she seems. Director Tony Marsiglia, working from a crafty and inspired script by Bruce G. Hallenbeck, relates the engrossing story at a brisk pace, maintains a generally serious tone throughout, does an ace job of creating and sustaining a downright intoxicating sensuous and erotic atmosphere, further spices things up with a sly sense of wickedly funny humor, and, of course, delivers a satisfying plenitude of tasty distaff skin and scorching hot girl-on-girl action. The strong and convincing chemistry between Wells and Mundae keeps the picture humming; it's not just expectedly arousing, but also surprisingly tender and moving. Moreover, Boz Tennyson sleazes it up deliciously as Jackie's foul lout husband Richard, the stunning Andrea Davis burns up the screen as delectable talk show host Ingrid, and enticing redhead Ruby Larocca has a fairly minor, but still cool role as timid maid Paula. Dang Lenawae's crisp cinematography boasts lots of atmospheric film noir style lighting and gives the movie a pleasing polished look. Don Mike's lively and neatly varied score blends classical music, bouncy mambo, and straight-out rock into a heady and thrilling mix. Best of all, this film even comes complete with a sound and provocative central theme on deep repression, lustful addiction, and forbidden love and passion. And the genuinely startling dark twist ending packs a real jolting punch, too. Well worth a watch.

serialhag76 I'll make this short and sweet: Dr. Jekyll & Mistress Hyde is definitely worth watching at least once, but the making-of featurette (which curiously runs longer than the actual movie) is a doozy. Watch Misty Mundae chain smoke in the car, in the hotel room, on the set, etc. See Julian Wells' ripped up granny panties and deliver a hilarious 9/11 Q&A session with the director. And is Ruby Esmerelda LaRocca always so damned hyper? Misty is even more adorable in her glasses, sans makeup, hanging out in her room and taking a stroll down the Strip. Oh my God, could I be in love? It's very possible. Too bad she's into guys, too. Sigh...

Li-1 Rating as a softcore flick: C+ Watching Seduction Cinema flicks are a considerably different experience than most other movies of the softcore genre. They usually have poorer production values, attempt at having a plot that constantly shifts in tone, and feature women who, shall I put it kindly, are usually plain and not all that attractive.But there are exceptions to that last rule, as I had an immediate crush on Laurie Wallace when I first saw her in The Erotic Witch Project, thus my only reason to seek out the rest of her films under Seduction. This eventually led me to Witchbabe, which had one fairly short scene in it with Julian Wells, but it was enough to make clear that Laurie would have some competition as the hottest chick in Seduction (though, as far as I'm aware, Laurie now works for Torchlight Pictures).So Dr. Jekyll and Mistress Hyde marks the first movie I've seen with Julian in the lead role, and all things considered, it's not such a bad softcore movie. Sure, most of the other women are unattractive, particularly Ruby Larocca and the overrated Misty Mundae, but almost every scene features Julian in it, enough to carry me through the short 70 or so minutes.The film actually tries to work as a serious psychological drama and as a titillating skin flick, and this is where the problems mostly lie. When it concentrates on the former, it's mostly a disaster. While the cinematography is surprisingly solid and atmospheric, the acting and script simply aren't good enough to make any of the drama believable. The performances are especially pathetic, with Larocca sounding like she's having difficulty memorizing her lines.But as a softcore extravaganza, the movie gets just enough right to get a passable recommendation. It is unfortunate, though, that an early masturbation scene with Julian looks as if it boasted a body double in her place, even though such a move makes no sense in this genre. Otherwise, though, I would say the movie is worth watching for those who find Julian Wells an absolute hottie.

Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* I bought this DVD as a Christmas present. It was from me to me. I wanted some Julian Wells under my tree. Well, well, well. How very well indeed. Julian invents a green drug that makes her horny. Misty Mundae keeps popping up to satisfy her green drug lust. Wells can't live without Mundae in her life. Will she overdose on nonstop sex with Mundae? Will the viewer? "Dr. Jekyll & Mistress Hyde" is the Julian and Misty show. They make it with each other five or six times. Wells takes a shot of green ecstasy and only has eyes and lips for Mundae. Wells wants Mundae to dress up like one of her first patients she fell in love with. It's kind of like "Vertigo" but with lesbians."Dr. Jekyll and Mistress Hyde" is basically a love story. Mundae and Wells have a lot of sex but it's all pretty chaste. A lot of light kisses. Now I like seeing the ladies kiss but I think I could have gone for some more hot and heavy action. I definitely could have gone for a little more variety with regards to Well's lovers. The best scene is a close-up of Wells as she goes to town on a girl's breasts. Not Mundae's but some other girl with gigantic nipples. See that? Variety man. Spice of life.Overall, this is a decent softcore flick. It's worth a look. If you want to see Julian Wells and Misty Mundae fall in love, this is the movie for you.
