Strange indeed

Dr. Jekyll And His Woman is a very strange but well made arty horror movie directed by Walerian Borwczyk. This film has a very interesting and sleazy take on the Jekyll and Hyde story and as such is a deeply disturbing and unsettling movie that is a nightmarish vision of debauchery of Mr. Hyde, a persona of which is adopted when Dr. Jekyll embraces his dark side with a limitless appetite for sex and violence. This film pulls no punches in the depiction of Mr. Hyde's indulgences that brings him to life through drugs, when witnessing this his fiance is intrigued and soon follows through with her husband which ends as they explore the dark side of their subconscious and live out their dark libidos together which ends in a appropriate bloody and nihilistic fashion. This stars European horror icon Udo Keir as Dr. Jekyll and is a very disturbing film that fully embodies the sex and violence that this take on the subject matter demands.
