In the beginning a boy witnesses a sex act between a woman and a man who may be his father.He gets a whipping from him and the woman laughs diabolically.Then her face turns red of blood.Henry Jekyll wakes up next to his wife.This man is a doctor who does experiences with cocaine, and this drug turns him into hideous Jack Hyde.The whores of London become his victims.Edge of Sanity (1989) is directed by Gerard Kikoine.This movie is a modern take on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story.I've read the chilling novel by Robert Louis Stevenson and seen a few movie versions of the story.This works nice.It shows us a possibility if Jekyll and Hyde were implicated in the crimes of Jack the Ripper.Anthony Perkins is very convincing as both the doctor and his evil version.Glynis Barber plays Elisabeth Jekyll.Sarah Maur Thorp is Susannah.David Lodge is Underwood.Edge of Sanity mixes horror with erotica.In one scene we see Mr. Hyde masturbating a woman with his cane before slashing her throat.The old tale has gotten a new look.
