4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent workin of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde, 28 Oct 2008
By Mrs. C. M. Stacey - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Anthony Perkins stars in a great re-telling of the Dr Jeckyll story. Dark and twisted, mainly revolving aroung an upper class brothel. Menace and mayhem aplenty as Anthony Perkins becomes addicted to drugs, and goes on a rampage. Sleazy, dark and perverted fun.

2.0 out of 5 stars 'Re-invented' Jekyll & Hyde. If something ain't broke...., 21 Oct 2008
The classic tale of "The strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" is re-worked. Jekyll is a crippled genius who walks with a limp due to an accident as a child when he witnessed a man having sex with a prostitute. His repressed sexuality is brought to the surface when he accidentally inhales crack-cocaine in his lab and is transformed into the athletic, sadistic Jack 'the ripper' Hyde whose promiscuity knows no bounds. I'm not sure whether the plot of the famous novel was 'updated' simply to attract audiences of modern-style horror films. It's initially an intriguing idea, but unfortunately it just descends into endless scenes of soft-porn and gore. Anthony Perkins is a wooden Jekyll and an over-the-top Hyde, seems to be sending up the 'Psycho' character he played. The film is certainly technically good, with lavish sets and an atmospheric soundtrack, but the story never goes anywhere and the ending is just laughable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but very gory reworking of classic horror story., 28 Sep 2006
By pointone (Bournemouth UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Anthony Perkins pedigree as Norman Bates in Hitchcock's classic "Psycho" ensures a suitably committed and menacing portrayal of Mr. Hyde in this reworking of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic "Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde".

The film strays from the novel by the inclusion of a wife Elisabeth Jekyll (Glynis Barber) and a gradual fusing of Hyde into Jack the Ripper. The film really interweaves two different styles which is unsettling but emphasises the dual personality of Jekyll. First there is the well acted drama between Jekyll and his wife Elisabeth as Jekyll becomes increasingly overwhelmed by Hyde, with good production values and adequate dialogue.

Alongside this are the rampages of Hyde as he slashes his way through the Victorian underworld, with much (some would say excessive) nudity and gore. This would be acceptable in the context of a gradual increase in the level of violence as Hyde attains ascendancy over Jekyll, but instead it is just repetitious gratuitous horror.

With the above reservations I enjoyed this reworking of the Jekyll and Hyde story, but if the story does not interest you it is best left alone.
