Where did anesthesia come from? Probably not this movie. It's like a Jekyll and Hyde where the drug that changes him is actually drugs. OH! I think I'm just starting to get this. Well played, Robert Louis Stevenson.

An amazingly misleading title (as bad as Curse of the Cat People). Basically a movie about a doctor who tries to further the cause of surgery--and also about the disadvantages of being a junkie.

I have a feeling that none of the Monsters & Madmen flicks are going to match up with the absolutely incredible presentation the box/slipcases already dazzled me with. Still, this was a fun time.

I hardly saw this as a "horror" in say, the fangy Hammer or dirty Corman traditions, but more of a internal horror of addiction and ambition. Karloff's performance is a class act, even if some of the bit players don't rise to his occasion. The production values, especially around the seedy Seven Dials, is perfectly scummy.

A realistic take on the Jekyll and Hyde story, involving opium stupors and murder most foul! Karloff is excellent, and gives Bolton a dimension rarely seen in the mad scientist genre.

This is certainly the "best" film in the "Monsters & Madmen" box, in terms of the quality of production, the acting, the storytelling. It's suspenseful and compelling, with a noteworthy performance from Karloff and an apt parallel for modern drug addiction. But I can't help feeling a little disappointed. I was hoping for more campy silliness.
