The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Miss Osbourne
Director Walerian Borowcyzk and horror icon Udo Kier put an eerie, erotic spin on Jekyll and Hyde in this nightmarish feature from 1981. In a creepy old house, Dr. Jekyll is set to wed Fanny, his beloved. But a strange powder turns him into a murderous rapist who starts attacking the wedding guests. Will it spoil the union? Or does Fanny have a dark side too? Though Borowcyzk’s best known for films like THE BEAST, this surreal study of Victorian repression is his masterpiece, playing out like early Cronenberg body horror crossed with one of Jean Rollin’s fever dreams. Contains sexual scenes, violence and gore.
