The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Miss Osbourne [2 Discs] [Blu-ray]

Overview

This version of Robert Louis Stevenson's oft-filmed tale is different for it's focus on explicit sex and violence. Also this time, the change from good to evil is the result of bathing in a sinister bubbling concoction rather than drinking it.
