Movie Info

This is a crazy horror-film spoof in which the enthusiastic leads provide laughs just by the strength of their characterizations alone -- and because they are obviously having fun. Oliver Reed is Dr. Heckyl whose lumpy face is so ugly it has kept women away in droves. He works at a podiatrist's clinic and one day attempts suicide by quaffing a whole bottle of a weight-loss elixir. The result? Dr. Heckyl becomes Mr. Hype, the suave ladies man. The only problem is that Mr. Hype is evil incarnate,

R, 1 hr. 40 min.

I never Thought I would ever use the term" has no redeeming value" until now. I had to force myself to watch this 1980's "stinker" all the way to the end. I always look for the campy or zircon in the ruff, but this movie was just plain painful.
