The Man with 2 Heads

Not to be confused with the Ray Milland movie The Thing with Two Heads which came out the same year. This is a version of 'Jekyll and Hyde', filmed in England, and directed by prolific US sexploitation maker Andy Milligan (unlike the Milland movie this doesn't actually feature anyone with two heads). It's ultra low-budget; there is literally one camera which picks the 'best' angle for each scene and pretty much stays there. The main cast are all unknowns with hardly any other acting credits - an exception being Denis DeMarne as Jekyll/Hyde, who was obviously a professional actor (and had a pretty prolific career until his death in 2012). He actually turns in a good performance in the circumstances. The story is reasonably faithful to the original, although elements of 'Jack the Ripper' have been added to Hyde's behaviour; and surprisingly, given Andy Milligan's background, there's very little nudity. But the production values are appallingly low, the supporting players are dreadful, and the anachronisms in the buildings, decor, and props are laughable. It really does look like someone videoed a bad 'am-dram' production. 3/10.
