Review
If you like 70's Hammer Horror, I think you'll dig this one. Martine Beswick is gorgeous and sinister as the titular Sister Hyde. This combines some historical things in a nice way. I know they were active and dead well before the time of Jekyll/Hyde, but I really liked the use of Burke and Hare in the story. Having Jack the Ripper be Jekyll is also a nice change. The science and history involved in this one is shite, but it's a damn entertaining movie.
This movie is great inspiration for Whitechapel Vigilance Committee. I think Bendjinn stats for Drujika, Countess of Blood are perfect low level seductress stats for Sister Hyde. The stats he made are found below, but do yourself a favor and check out his page.

ReplyDeleteI guess if you make horror movies, once you think of this title you kind of HAVE to make the film... :)
