Now, here's an interesting twist to Robert Louis Stevenson's tale. Dr. Jekyll (Ralph Bates) is looking for the elixir that will wipe out all diseases; instead, he comes up with a formula that turns him into the beautiful, but evil, woman Sister Hyde (Martine Beswick). Because female hormones are needed for the experiment, prostitutes are lured to their deaths. Finally, Dr. Jekyll tries to fight off the ever increasing dominance of Sister Hyde, but his efforts may be too late. A good performance by Beswick–and she even looks somewhat like Bates.

The Horror of Frankenstein 1970  R, 95 min.
Genre: Horror / Sci-Fi / Thriller
Director: Jimmy Sangster
Cast: Ralph Bates, Kate O'Mara, Graham James, Veronica Carlson, Dennis Price, David Prowse, George Belbin, Jon Finch, Bernard Archard, James Hayter, Joan Rice, Stephen Turner, Neil Wilson, James Cossins, Glenys O'Brien
After killing his father, Victor Frankenstein (Ralph Bates) inherits the castle–complete with housekeeper Alys (Kate O'Mara) who is also his mistress. Frankenstein is soon busy murdering people to use as body parts for his Monster. Unfortunately, the Monster (David Prowse) didn't get much of a brain in this horror/comedy version of Mary Shelley's tale.
