I think it’s safe to say that slasher sexploitation films may not be for me?

At least, this one was decidedly not for me!

Look, friends, I don’t know what the plot actually was. What I do know was that as soon as this film started, I got nervous.

This was my internal dialogue: “Oh no. Why are you filmed this way? What did I just walk into? Oh noooooo. You gotta warn a person before you show them body parts.”

And this wasn’t the slasher film body-part-flashes type of film. This was, “I need to shut the door, and please don’t let anyone knock because I can’t explain this one.”

I’m far from being a prude, but I just wasn’t prepared. Mentally, I didn’t know what type of movie I was sitting down with. That being said, it does have sexual situations depicted on screen, friends. While it’s not full-blown pornographic, it’s definitely giving 1970s porn without the nitty-gritty. You know what I mean. As long as you go in prepared for that aspect, it’s not as jarring.

*sigh*

However, I want to be responsible with you, so I am going to let you know that twice in this movie an actual close-up dissection of a frog occurs. That, honestly, was more jarring than all the body parts. And it is an actual dissection. I wasn’t sure if the filmmakers had the budget to accomplish a fake one while I was watching it. A Google search confirmed it wasn’t fake.

That does upset me.

As for how this relates to Jekyll & Hyde? It doesn’t follow the story. Clearly! There is something about a Jekyll & Hyde syndrome. It is unclear to me whether the disorder is named after an actual Dr. Jekyll, or whether it’s meant to center on the Robert Louis Stevenson story. I don’t know.

My reccomendation is to skip this.

Unless you’re very interested, it’s not worth it.

2/10
