Should be better

Warning: Spoilers
DAUGHTER OF DR. JEKYLL is a typical B-movie programmer of the late '50s, starring none other than genre stalwart John Agar. The title writes the plot for you; set twenty years after the Stevenson novel, this features the daughter of the infamous scientist going out of her mind as she comes to believe that she's responsible for a series of brutal murders. Sadly, the story is hampered by the usual budgetary constraints of this genre, with very little in the way of action and even less in the way of FX, schlocky or otherwise. There's some melodrama at the climax, wrapped up with a twist ending, but overall you can't help but feel they should have done better.
