Jekyll and Hyde

Not the most exciting thing to watch but still somewhat enjoyable.

Grab yourself a bucket of popcorn and settle in on a rainy afternoon. Watch out for the right hook!

Book/novel has been filmatized into silver screen horror, and yet again its a big flop, a scandalous try to make a great book into a film, so my advice is to skip it...

because there arent much horrifying things shown to the audience, the actors seems like duracell driven robots, and theyve even tried to comedyise the story, without or absolutely at a minimum of sucess and special effects use are merely absent...

a high school media class couldve adapted this story into something better than this, because this was just dr.jæklig and mr hide( away) of all the great moments of terror that this story relieves us with.

The small cast has actually some familiar faces from british tv productions, but their talent has been dematerialized due to less than good direction. Filmatographically its also a hydeaway story, especially the outdoor scenes and the lack of panoramic shoots, cant quite decide if it is the -graphs having a bad day or if its the editors hung over manic monday at work making this a drama that could without impertinence be considered as too bad even for a low budget television channel.the location settings and set decors are so minimalistically spartanic that you may start too shiver and looking out for modern objects and other glitches instead of viewing the movie

so there are nothing to look forward too,i know im salty and galdy cause im utterly disappointed, and just a 2 star from the ''forever and ever in love with ''england, grumpy old man. I bet sir robert will take revenge somehow.

Very poor adaption of a classic novel, the original is way scarier than this drivel, The Acting is wooden and totally unbelievable. The very strange way the story has been adapted is neither scary or interesting in fact its rubbish.

Steve Lawson delivers once more an intelligent, dialogue-heavy, atmospheric period piece - this time with a twist on 'The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde' novella.

Michael McKell is very good as the titular character (and sings the excellent closing theme too - a very talented individual). My only gripe is probably a very personal one; during moments of humour - and there is a handful amidst this grim tale - we are treated to strains of 'comedy music'. Plink plonks accompany each sideward glance and awkward smile. It's unnecessary - don't do it (this is general advice, not exclusive to this production)!

The fairly sizable tweaks that have been made to the classic original story seem mainly to allow the low budget to adequately convey events (shades of early Hammer classic adaptions). Therefore, there are many scenes, especially near the end, where characters spend a great deal of time explaining the plot and gloating over their cleverness. An interesting spin - not perfect of course, but a production given the care and attention that's become associated with Steve Lawson's projects. My score is 7 out of 10.

A different take on the Jekyll and Hyde story.

This movie is not so bad .

Kinda low budget, though the plot was well paced.

Unfortunately it is extremely slow.

You might want to watch at higher speeds.
