Why so poorly rated?

I consider this a worthy effort; especially moving performances by both Lee and Cushing. Admitedly, some of the editing seems "choppy", but I'm not certain it wasn't the poor copy DVD I obtained.

Nonetheless, an intellectual if somewhat conservative approach to the Jeckel/Hyde mythology. For myself 8/10. It is refreshing to view Lee without his customary fangs and the sets from Oliver! were put to good use.
