For #Juneteenth last night, we watched #Black filmmaker #WilliamCrain's #blaxpoitation #movie "Dr Black, Mr Hyde." Didn't like it as well as his classic #Blacula, but it wasn't bad. It had interesting messages about race and horror, and a nicely done climax at the #WattsTowers. #BernieCasey did a fine job in the dual starring role. I wish the women in it had been more than victims or bystanders, but #RosalindCash and #MarieOHenry did well with what they were given.

Dr. Black and Mr. Hyde came from Blacula's director William Crain and continued the tradition of blaxploitation monster films. This is one that has some decent ideas in it. Maybe not quite up to par wtih Blacula but still a fun one to watch.
