Dr. Jekyll's Dungeon of Death (1976)

- written May 2008

Summary: The great grandson of the original Dr. Jekyll kidnaps people and experiments on them. He’s told his fiancée’s father that she died but when he shows up, he’s kidnapped him for help with experiments. He’s got a few servants who seem to submit all to the Doc but soon, Jekyll will lose control of everyone!           Overall: Mixed feelings about this film. It’s like watching a movie shot around UFC events. For an old film, we have a lot of submission fighting between kidnapped subjects. But the film is poorly shot, tons of dark scenes and at times, it can be boring. However despite the clearly over-the-top performance by our Doc, the “mute” and “dumb” characters did surprisingly good, especially that sister. Sure, they didn’t have much to work with. But very impressed. Anyway, film is ok, but some fairly decent performances that make me wanna encourage a viewing.           Comparison: Penitentiary meets Young Einstein
