More Jeckyl/Hyde than Vampire
12 March 2008
I love Italian horror, but this one just didn't have the punch that I am used to with Fulci or Bava. The premise was good, but it didn't deliver completely.

It was interesting anyway as a girl (Susanne Loret) gets disfigured in an auto accident and a mad scientist doctor (Alberto Lupo) promises to make her beautiful again.

The Doctor and his assistant work on the girl, but the results are only temporary and they are out of serum. That's when the Doctor's secret is revealed and he goes into action attacking young girls to keep his treasured beauty alive. The first to go is his assistant.

He has a way of transforming himself into a Mr. Hyde and back to Dr. Jeckyl. The girls old boyfriend and the police are hot on his tail.

Interesting tale, but Fulci would have done it better.
