Review Date:
A mix of Franco's stylistic cinematography and snap zooms can't salvage the weak plot and dialogue; Blu-ray presentation is average, appealing mainly to cult fans.

Disc Release Date
DTS-HD MA
Video: 48
The Blu-ray presentation of 'The Mistresses of Dr. Jekyll' delivers a passable 1080p/AVC MPEG-4 encode with decent definition, sharp detailing, and a film-like grain structure. While exhibiting chemical damage, scratches, and softness, its black and white balance and interior textures adequately preserve the film's macabre mood.
Audio: 48
The Mistresses of Dr. Jekyll's audio presentation, featuring a 2.0 DTS-HD MA and uncompressed PCM mono sound mix, suffers from age-related issues such as hiss, pops, and noticeable noise in higher pitches, resulting in a flat and listless experience. Despite clear dialogue and pronounced sound effects, the overall fidelity remains unimpressive.
Extra: 26
The Blu-ray extras for 'The Mistresses of Dr. Jekyll' include an insightful commentary by film historian Tim Lucas, a collection of deleted nude scenes, and both French and Italian trailers, offering a comprehensive supplemental experience that enriches the understanding of Franco's work.
Movie: 36
Jess Franco's 1964 film 'The Mistresses of Dr. Jekyll' (a.k.a. 'Dr. Orloff's Monster') is an early career effort displaying intriguing visual elegance and some memorable camerawork, but hampered by a shoddy plot, bad dialogue, and clichéd subplots, making it an unimpressive yet oddly fascinating entry in Franco's extensive filmography.
