enjoyable '70s black cinema
Added 1/4/2005
This is a very funny and enjoyable movie. It's definitely worth seeing if you're a fan of black movies from the '70s. Bernie Casey and Rosalind Cash are both good as usual, but Marie O'Henry is really the one to see in this one. She's probably best known for her one line from "Uptown Saturday Night". In the robbery scene where everyone is told to strip down to their underwear, she's the lady who said "I don't wear underwear". What we didn't get to see in that movie is shown in "Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde", which is enough to make this movie worthwhile! She also starred in a movie from 1975 called "Deliver Us From Evil" which was apparently never released on video. Overall, this movie is worth having in your collection if you're seriously into blaxploitation.

Even as a fan of blaxploitation, this movie is about the worst that I have ever seen...period. Bernie Casey's performance is not bad, but you may have problems getting past his creepy appearance. Only for hard core camp fans only.

This is a funny/horror type blaxploitation spinoff of the Dr. Jekyll and Hyde. Casey protrays a respectable Black doctor trying to help his sickest patients only to come up with a disaster chemical formula that turns him into a "haint" wandering aimlessly scaring innocent potential victims. Check out that scene where the nurse, in doing her normal duties in a patients' room, (the hospital is mysteriously quiet and empty), turns around and finds that a once bedridden elderly black woman has sat up in bed white as a ghost, hair white as snow, mouth opened wide making scary sounds. The nurse almost wet her skirt. Just imagine what it would be like to be alone in a morgue and have a ghost like corpse sit up with pop eyes making gargling noises. Well that's what it was like.
