Anthony Perkins builds upon his legendary status as cinemas seminal psycho in Edge of Sanity, a delirious conflation of Robert Louis Stephensons classic horror novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Jack the Rippers real-life reign of terror over Victorian London. When his experiments into a powerful new anaesthetic go hideously awry, respected physician Dr Jekyll (Perkins) takes off into the night, casting aside the shackles of upper-class propriety as he disappears into the shadowy decadent demimonde of Whitechapel in pursuit of sensual pleasures under the guise of Mr Hyde. As his wife Elisabeth (Glynis Barber) passes her time in charitable work, rehabilitating the districts fallen women, Hyde is drawn into an escalating cycle of lust and murder that seems to know no bounds. Produced by exploitation maestro Harry Alan Towers (The Face of Fu Manchu, Count Dracula) and directed with a hallucinogenic intensity by Gerard Kikoine (Lady Libertine, Buried Alive), Edge of Sanity plunges the viewer into a labyrinth of depravity from which there is no escape.
