In doing so, the evil side can be controlled and the good side can live without worry, in combination leading to the betterment of society. In his experiments, he uses himself as the subject to test his hypothesis. His evil side, who he coins Mr. Hyde, escapes into London, and terrorizes party-girl Ivy Pierson.

Fresh start

OK ladies and gents

I decided to give it another go and ...

I will publish at least 2 new movies during next 7 days, but all archive contents will be deleted from site and must be re-uploaded, which I am doing right now, so you will have to wait patiently for a couple of weeks until all of them are ready...

Next movies I will publish will go deep into 1930s, some even closer to 1930 than 1940...

And maybe some of next film noir, I dont know for that moment...but I promised you more 1930s stuff and gonna keep that promise

3 more things:

1. No more mirrors available from that time...
2. Please dont ask me to upload to mediafire, megaupload, ABChosting.com etc. etc. your requests will be ignored, sorry
3. All links will be decrypted from that moment on, so no one could report them, you will have to use jDownloader or Cryptload, to download the stuff
