   Docteur Jekyll et les femmes (AKA The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Miss Osbourne) is an oddity in that it's a French adaptation of a Victorian classic, but that's far from its only strangeness. When I saw Marina Pierro was in it, I let out an expletive, having recently been burned by her performance as a block of wood The Living Dead Girl. As the Fanny Osbourne to Udo Kier's Jekyll, she's mostly observes the action with those dead eyes of her. Kier and Patrick McGee are atrociously dubbed in this, their lips very obviously saying the dialog in English while stock French voices (I say stock because I was exposed to French dubs from a young age, and the dub artists are very recognizable) actually speak the words. It's Stevenson's premise played out as a vicious, sadistic, near-pornographic slasher inside a single house after an engagement party (dinner and boring philosophical discussions, mostly). It's got a nice hazy glow and a great twist ending that speaks to marriage being the acceptance of the other's dark side, but generally, I felt disconnected from it to the point of boredom. 1 year 5 months ago

   What a mess. Had to stop and check after starting if it was on the "Bad movies" list. 1 year 10 months ago
