(More customer reviews)Seduction Cinema has come a long way since its early days, thanks largely to the contributions of one gorgeous starlet named Misty Mundae. By the time this film was released in 2003, production values, cinematography, and writing had improved dramatically from the oftentimes utterly ridiculous film spoofs of past years. At the same time, though, the company had not forgotten its mission; Dr. Jekyll and Mistress Hyde offers ample proof that these guys are still putting the Seduction in Seduction Cinema - and there is no one more seductive than Misty Mundae.
Julian Wells plays Jackie Stevenson, a straight-laced psychologist making waves with her theory about the dual nature of the female psyche; it's half "pure" and half "lustful," she argues. Her disparaging husband is having none of it because, if his wife has a lustful side, he hasn't seen it. He, of course, is lustful enough for the both of them - just ask the maid (Ruby DeLarocca). Dr. Stevenson has been hard at work developing a formula that will separate the two conflicting halves and somehow free women from their own inner shackles. When she tries the drug on one of her severely depressed patients, the poor girl winds up in a room with padded walls (but not before ravaging the good doctor in a nymphomaniacal fit). Naturally, Jackie then decides to experiment on herself, but with a smaller dosage. Now we see her repressed lustful side come out in the form of the wanton "Heidi." She goes prowling the streets, where she meets Dawn, a young lady with an uncanny resemblance to her first patient - probably because Misty Mundae plays both roles here. Dawn is a young lady of the night - aw heck, she's a hooker - who proves quite capable of satisfying Heidi's newly awakened needs. The two strike up a relationship (which does not preclude Dawn from bring other young ladies home with her), Jackie becomes more addicted to the serum and the carnal pleasures it brings to her through her alter-ego Heidi, and a few other things happen by way of filler between numerous hot and steamy encounters. There is a bit of a surprise at the end, but I think the filmmakers went out a little too far on a limb on this one.
You have to expect a few story problems and weaknesses from Seduction Cinema films, but these problems are more than made up for in terms of what I shall cleverly label "the good stuff." Not only are there more erotic scenes than usual in this Seduction Cinema film, the scenes are all well done and far from disappointing. You definitely get more Misty for your money in this movie than in most of her other ones. You also get Misty in a schoolgirl outfit - that, my friends, is worth the price of admission.
As usual, Seduction Cinema has thrown in a number of nice bonus features as well. There is a behind-the-scenes feature of over an hour and fifteen minutes that basically follows Misty and Ruby DeLarocca all the way from New Jersey to L.A. for the complete filming of the movie. Unless you're a Misty fan, you might find some of this video boring, as the girls don't do a whole lot, but highlights include a trip to the Walk of Fame and Misty spontaneously performing the rap part of Blondie's Rapture. After a short interview with Misty and Julian Wells, you can check out a whole slew of trailers: eight Retro-Seduction Cinema releases (including Misty's remakes of Lustful Addiction and Roxanna) and eight Seduction Cinema titles starring Miss Mundae. You'll notice there is a second disc included in the package; this is actually a compact disc containing the music from the film - I wasn't particularly enamored with the soundtrack, but maybe some out there will enjoy it enough to want to listen to it on its own.
Dr. Jekyll and Mistress Hyde is a decent effort in its own right, but there is no doubt that Misty Mundae makes this film something special. If you are a Misty fan, you will definitely want to add this DVD to your Misty collection - trust me on this one.
