Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

writtenbymkm-583-902097 Robert Louis Stevenson's wonderful story (107 pages long in the small paperback edition that contains three of his other stories) is one of my all-time favorites. It's totally depressing that not one attempt has ever been made to film a movie that's true to Stevenson's work. It's almost as though no one in Hollywood has ever read the actual story. Or maybe they just don't care, they don't think it's dramatic enough, or scary enough, or interesting enough, they have to "Hollywood it up." In any case, this particular version is a joke, probably farther from the original story than any other movie I've seen or heard of. It really is absurd. If you don't understand what I mean, go read the story.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is a very scary movie. Doctor Jekyll discovers that man has to souls. He creates a formula that bring out his evil side. Evil side tries to take him over. If you do not get scared of this movie. Then no movie will scary you. This is a true horror classic. The story line is great. The acting is great. The special effects is great. This movie is a must see. It is very intense. Paul M.a.s.s.i.e is great as Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. David K.o.s.s.o.f.f is great as Doctor Ernst L.i.t.a.u.e.r . Christopher Lee is great as Paul Allen. Christopher Lee was in a lot of horror movie. He play Dracula in the Horror of Dracula. He played S.a.r.u.m.a.n in the middle earth movies. This is one of the greatest horror movie of all time. See it.

NutzieFagin Hammer Studios were probably the king of producers for Gothic horror flicks. Well known for their creepy sets that produced movies starring monsters from classics (Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman & Mummy) the studio churned out these movies every year usually with success. So why not a movie starring the famous mad scientist, Dr. Henry Jeckell from the Robert Louis Steveson classic story?However, like most Hammer films, they like to put on their own little spin to make the story a little less redundant. In The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll, the character is regarded as a quiet nebbish type scientist who speaks in a soft voice. He is also already married--to a beautiful redhead wife, who unfortunately is only concerned about her selfish whims and presently carrying on an affair with his friend. The friend, Paul Allen--played by the immortal Hammer studio star, Christopher Lee is a scoundrel who gambles away his money, and like Henry Jekyll's cheating spouse--only concerned for his own pleasures. So of course, this leads to poor Dr. J's disastrous experiment, which he transforms into a handsome but the cruel evil rake, Mr Hyde. Like Clark Kent in Superman, no one usually recognizes or connects the two men together. But the evil Mr Hyde takes the tortured Dr Jekyll to London's pleasure houses and commits various cruel tricks on people. Mr Hyde also makes Dr. Jekell confront that his wife is a no good cheating woman. But as you may guess, Dr. Jekyll loses control of his alter ego, and that's when the serum literally hits the fan.This movie is well acted but it seems to lend sympathy to the character of Dr. Jekell. He seems to be so tortured by his wife infidelity but lacks the strength of character to confront the problem. But again, we have to agree as mad scientists go---it really is his own fault that these tragedies happen.Not a bad flick, if you like the Hammer Film genre--I'd say it's a good bet for a late night popcorn viewing

GL84 Determined to find a cause for human behavior, a scientist's experiments with a special serum inadvertently trigger his change into a boorish, violent degenerate that enables him to live out his inner most devious fantasies, which come to pass when he discovers his wife's affair.Despite having a rather interesting take on the famous story, this entry isn't really all that special. One of the biggest problems here is that the change-over into his new personality doesn't bring about any real reason to fear him, for he looks like himself without the facial hair and lack of old-age wrinkles, or in other words just an ordinary man. This isn't a change into a twisted, deformed brute that looks slightly different from modern society but rather exactly the same as the other people around him, so he doesn't exactly inspire a great deal of fear amongst those around him as he goes through the motions of the story. In fact, several times he's shown to be knocked-out or even manhandled with extreme ease, and it's really only minor details about what he wants his friend to do that inspires any sort of terror. In fact, those actions are downright lame in any sense, not making it seem like there's a big dramatic, horror-inspired fate for what's going on but rather just an ordinary man asking his friend to do some pretty weird things for about an hour, making this one take an eternity to get going. The last half, when he goes about setting on revenge for the affair does it get going as there's some life to the film, as well as the potential for the some chills as he finally engages in actions that put others in the line of his temper, and it goes somewhat towards restoring some fear to him, but the majority of the film is so bland that there's not a lot of good that can come from it.Today's Rating/PG-13: Violence, sexual situations and drug use.
