jacqueline hyde starts like any other normal day for telemarketing individual jackie hyde (co producer gabriella hall) until her boss (robert donovan) fires her for taking personal calls at work and however it not all bad news as the call she took was from a lawyer informing her that her grandfather (malcolm bennett) has recently died and that he left her his mansion and fortune (why doesn not stuff like that ever happen to me. sigh). very excited jackie heads on over there and makes herself right at home and while looking for the thermostat late one night jackie stumbles upon a secret room where her grandfather stashes the bright red formula that he invented that allows whoever drinks it to change their appearance. being a bit on the porky side jackie finally settles on the glamorous jacqueline (blythe metz) and however jackie better looking alter ego starts to take control. written and co produced and directed by rolfe kanefsky i thought jacqueline hyde was complete total and utter crap from start to finish and it as simple and straight forward as that. according to the opening credits jacqueline hyde was inspired by the classic robert louis stevenson novel the strange case of dr. jekyll and mr. hyde and frankly if mr. stevenson could see what was being done to his story here he would turn in his grave. for a start i think jacqueline hyde was or is intended to be a horror film and the imdb certainly lists it as such but there isn not any horror in it at all apart from just how bad it is. i would say that jacqueline hyde is more a soft core porno than anything else and extremely tame with it and why sit down and watch this softer than soft porno crap when you can watch you proper hard core stuff that actually delivers the goods. why and that the question i ask here. it not even good porn either and besides being far too soft it dull and boring and the not worth mentioning sex scenes are few and far between. the most intelligent aspect of this film is the title which would have been quite clever if not for the fact that another film used the jacqueline hyde (1998) title during the last century and judging by the imdb plot summary it sounds a hell of a lot better than this piece of rubbish. this is one of those films you have to watch yourself to see just how bad it is but just hope that you never get the opportunity. director kanefsky was obviously working on a low budget but that not an excuse these days and shot on a digital camcorder the film looks cheap and the few instances of cgi look like they came from a nintendo gameboy and the final hocking twist has probably the worst morph effect i have ever seen and is pretty good for a laugh as is the scene when jackie breasts grow via more terrible cgi. that another thing and the film takes itself far too seriously. the subject matter sucks and is far too predictable and makes for a poor film but maybe if the dialogue had been intentionally funny with some dirty porn talk the film might have been more fun to watch and alas it isn not so it isn not. forget about any decent horror and violence or gore as there isn not any apart from a surprisingly bloodless decapitation at the end. technically jacqueline hyde is home made film type stuff and the photography is of the flat hand held point and shoot variety and the music and production design and special effects are of a suitably low standard to match the script. the acting was awful and seriously this is bad. jacqueline hyde in my opinion a load of crap and there is not one positive thing about this turgid film that i can think of. any proper film lover will have an almost impossible time trying to find any redeeming value in this crap and definitely one to avoid.
