I found the Hammer version pretty inventive in spite of its low tech methods. I mean, combining the history of Burke & Hare and Jack the Ripper with a Jekyll & Hyde story that addresses the gender change allowing the Lady Hyde to blend among her potential victims. Fascinating. I wished though, in both versions, the desire to stay as the other half was less driven by blood lust (given how in the Hammer version Jekyll was just as guilty if not more so).
Still the last movie listed by the new Hammer pictures was Woman in Black II and that arrived back in 2014, no new movies since.
