"Jackie is an almost unnoticeable woman very down on her luck. But right after she loses her current job she finds out that she has inherited her grandfather's estate. This mostly consists of a fabulous house. But even her newfound fortune cannot really lift her spirits. At least not until she discovers some of her grandfather's work. Through an accident, she winds up taking her grandfather's potion. This potion enables the taker to have full mental control of their body and looks.



Jackie starts to take the formula and have fun with it. In this way she becomes a number of beautiful women (including her next-door neighbor). But it is when she becomes her next-door neighbor's boyfriend that she realizes that there is a downside to the drug. She lacks control while under the influence. She vows to stop taking the formula but is not quite strong enough to resist all temptation. Things escalate rapidly and quickly get out of control. Deaths occur and Jackie and her alter ego Jacqueline fight for control.



The film ends in a very interesting way which was unexpected. This could have been a cheap excuse for a soft-core film but it manages to avoid that trap. Yes, there are nudity and sex but they are not the driving forces. Instead the story is powered by Jackie's insecurities and the temptation to overcome them. There is also a more serious love interest to help complicate maters for Jackie/Jacqueline. All in all this was an interesting take of the Jekyll and Hyde tale but with more elaborate results. Check it out."

Certainly erotic, at least in parts!

"Some of this film was quite enjoyable to watch! The story involves innocent Jackie inheriting the house of her Dr. Jekyll-type uncle who was experimenting with a mind-altering formula. Of course, eventually Jackie herself discovers the existence of the formula and actually tries it out, leading to erotic-yet-deadly complications for those she encounters in the aftermath.



My favorite moment came when Jackie decides to venture into a local strip club, where one of the girls then offers to dance for her. Of course, Jackie declines, but her interest is piqued. And later on, after she drinks some of the formula and is transformed to the very sensual Jacqueline, she returns to the strip club and this time readily accepts the offer of a private lap dance from one of the lovely ladies. It's a very erotic moment, at least until she turns murderously evil and proceeds to suck the life out of the unlucky girl dancing for her.



Still, any film that includes a scene showing a pretty girl giving a lap dance to another woman is well-worth checking out, at least in my opinion!"
