Gloria Talbot stars as Janet Jeckyll, a young girl who finds herself overcome by strange dreams wherein she stalks and kills young women. In the morning these women turn up dead, but both kindly Dr. Lomas (Arthur Shields) and her fiancee (John Agar) think she just needs to rest and not worry about it. The townspeople, however, think maybe it's time to drive a stake through her heart, just like they did her father. Monster fans should enjoy this weird hybrid of werewolf, vampire, and Jeckyll/Hyde themes, buoyed by the visual flair of director Ulmer. The film also benefits from a truly florid musical score that makes effective use of that weird electronic device, the theremin. The wild eyes and feral features of leading lady Talbott are also a plus, as is the spooky introduction starring Mister Hyde himself. [More]
