Lewis Fiander, an Australian actor, made his mark in the early 1970s with a series of notable performances in cult films. He appears in I Start Counting (1969), where his role captures the essence of youthful obsession, and later in Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972), where he navigates the darkly comedic tones of horror. Fiander's work in Dr Jekyll & Sister Hyde (1971) further solidifies his presence in the realm of exploitation cinema, reflecting the era's fascination with the macabre and the bizarre.
Dr Jekyll & Sister Hyde
In foggy London Dr Jekyll experiments on newly deceased women determined to discover an elixir for immortal life. Success enables his spectacular transformation into the beautiful but psychotic Sister Hyde who stalks the dark alleys of Whitechapel for young, innocent, female victims, ensuring continuation of the bloodstained research. With each transformation Sister Hyde becomes the more dominant personality, determined to eventually suppress the frail, ineffectual Dr Jekyll forever.
