International Horror Series: Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde

Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde  ( Roy Ward Baker, 1971, UK)  

The legendary British horror studio Hammer Films may be best known for their Dracula and Frankenstein releases starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, but they also produced one of the most original takes on the classic Jekyll and Hyde tale. Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde gender-bends the original story so that Dr. Henry Jekyll (Ralph Bates) now transforms into the beautiful but daringly brash and murderous Sister Hyde (the fabulous Martine Beswick). The much-contested gender politics of the film have lately been reclaimed and its value recognized as a trans and nonbinary text. (97 mins., DCP)
