"A pair of cheapies that bridge the sexploitation era and xxx hardcore, they are quite colorful and imaginative despite lapses in story and character. Jekyll and Hyde fares better than A Clockwork Blue. Overall, glad to pick up the out-of-print DVD version to go along with my limited edition blu-ray — one of the first titles I bought from VS when they just started to transition to blu-ray."
"An unsettling and weird couple of films. Beautiful transfers of some strange strange movies"
"A release I wanted for a while, this title dropped during the Labor Day sale again! Both movies were wild and the transfer does the cinematography justice!"
"Nice double bill. Glad I was able to get it since it's OOP."
"These are worth your time"
"Early 70s softcore sexploitation double feature with welcome appearances by Rene Bond (in drag! See the photo- she's not a convincing man!), Sandy Dempsey and Suzanne Fields. (There is also a hardcore cut which was released in a limited Blu-ray edition by VS many years ago. It just has a brief scene with penetration, otherwise not really worth tracking down) The films are frankly a bit of an incoherent mess, but do have some scenes of madness."
"Definitely liked a Clockwork Blue more than the other feature, mostly because the female performers and performances were first rate. Sandi Carey, Jane Allyson, they are all amazing. Could have used some sex in the film, but not bad for a softie."
"Some grimy sexploitation features on a double bill; one is better than the other but make for a great double feature."
"This intriguing double feature pairs two daring films that explore the boundaries of desire and identity, each offering a unique take on classic themes. The Jekyll and Hyde Portfolio is a bold reinterpretation of the classic tale, skillfully blending elements of horror and eroticism. The film navigates the duality of human nature through stunning visuals and a gripping narrative. The performances are captivating, particularly the lead, who embodies the contrasting personas with remarkable depth. The cinematography is lush and atmospheric, immersing viewers in a world where morality is constantly questioned. A Clockwork Blue takes inspiration from the iconic "A Clockwork Orange," delivering a provocative and visually striking experience. The film cleverly tackles themes of free will and societal control, all while maintaining a sense of dark humor. The vibrant aesthetic and creative storytelling keep viewers engaged, and the ensemble cast delivers strong performances that enhance the film's unsettling charm. Together, these films create a thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche. The direction and writing shine, making this DVD a compelling addition to any film lover’s collection. The blend of classic literary references with modern sensibilities ensures that audiences will find themselves both entertained and challenged. In conclusion, "The Jekyll and Hyde Portfolio / A Clockwork Blue" is an engaging double feature that successfully pushes the boundaries of genre, leaving viewers with plenty to ponder long after the credits roll."
"Appreciate having these hard to find previously films. Well worth the purchase"
