5.0 out of 5 stars
Required viewing for Misty Mundae fans, September 28, 2004
This review is from: Dr. Jekyll & Mistress Hyde (DVD)
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.

The best I've seen so far, October 8, 2005
This review is from: Dr. Jekyll & Mistress Hyde (DVD)
I have seen several Seduction Cinema movies. This one, Gladiator Eroticvs, and Lord Of The G-Strings and by far this is the best one. For once, seduction cinema has included the sounds of the sex in the movie. Although I can tell that they were dubbed.
The best way for me to descibe this movie to you is that it is a lesbien movie with a surprise twist of a conclusion, and how often do you find that in porn?
I really like the extras on this disc because it gets into the terrible lifestyle of the people involved in the movie. At one point the director is talking about what he did last night. He says "we injected some things, we smoked some things...".
If any one with Seduction Cinema ever reads this, I would like to see a fair-skined, dark haied Asian woman in your future movies. You had one with blond hair in this movie. Or maybe some Internet porn stars (Mason Storm or Dana Hayes) in your future productions.

A steamy, erotic dream., January 19, 2004
This review is from: Dr. Jekyll & Mistress Hyde (DVD)
At the insistence of her patient, a repressed girl named Martine Flatstone (played by Misty Mundae), Dr. Jackie Stevenson (Julian Wells) injects her with an experimental drug meant to unleash the inner psyche. The girl professes love to her kindly doctor, then wigs out and shows her just what kind of love she is talking about. Dr. Jackie doesn't put up much a fight for long, but Martine's mind is blown beyond repair by too much of a good thing. Feeling both guilty and aroused, Dr. Jackie decides to experiment on herself. Her inner psyche, a cauldron of lesbian lust she names Heidi, comes to the surface and immediately heads out on the prowl. She finds a young hooker named Dawn (also played by Mundae) who reminds her of Martine and the two begin a torrid affair that may or may not be what it appears to be.Dr. Jekyll and Mistress Hyde is a nicely done little dream of a movie. As the story progesses one does not know how much is real or illusion. Is Dawn really Martine, or does she exist at all? The line is further blurred when Dawn unknowningly becomes a patient of Dr. Jackie. When it comes to performing as their dual characters, Wells is a tad better than Mundae in the acting department, but the two work well together and there is genuine heat generated in their pairing up under different character personas. Watching the movie a second time, I noticed that Jackie and Dawn's dialog in regards to their first time experiences are practically identical, and what was with that red suitcase? First we see Jackie carrying it, then Dawn has it in the very next scene. It is clear that the director and screenwriter wanted this to be more than just a toss away erotic comedy (it is played straight, an early scene involving a maid appearing to be the only attempt at comedy) and it is that noble intention that makes Dr. Jekyll and Mistress Hyde above average. Fans of Jean Rollin and his ilk should find something to enjoy here. The Collector's Edition disc features the film's soundtrack, which isn't that bad, and a behind the scenes documentary that is as long as the movie itself is included. Those interested in how a movie like this is made, and what the people who make a movie like this are really like, will appreciate it. This is a welcome addition to my library.
