I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

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

OK, I bought this pack with three, or four horror films in it. This was one of them. (The Nun, another horrible movie was another)So, this movie has an alright budget, not too bad acting, but it is just so boring. I mean, almost nothing horror related happens at all. Not that I can remember anyway. There are some kills or something, but it's just not entertaining.I think it is an attempt at making more of a "serious" movie, not an entertaining one. It's just not good. It will bore you.I write this review just to warn others. If you are after some entertaining horror, look elsewhere! If you are looking for some kind of bland, sci-fi- thriller-drama thing, give it a try.

My goodness gracious! What a train wreck of a film! Actually? I might want to retract that statement. I feel like calling this movie a train wreck is the film review equivalent of kicking an abused puppy. To call it a train wreck is to imply that there is anything to actually wreck. Well, there is the source material. I would be really saddened if this was someone's first exposure to the Jekyll and Hyde story, and had the story ruined for them! Okay, so this movie does deserve to be torn apart. Just a little.There are a lot of really awful adaptations of the Jekyll and Hyde story out there. A LOT. But as a big fan of the story, I can usually find one or two things in an otherwise steaming pile of crap to point out and say, "Well, at least this was decent." Can't do that with this film here! The writing is hilariously bland, the editing has multiple personality disorder (probably the most Jekyll and Hyde thing about the film, actually), and the actor who plays Jekyll looks like he's about to fall asleep whenever he talks.What really impressed me is how dorky they managed to make Mr. Hyde! Most adaptations can manage at least one "cool" scene for Hyde--I mean, really, he IS supposed to be the "fun" part of adapting the story. But not Jekyll+Hyde! Presumably due to budget problems, 90% of Hyde's evilness (i.e. murdering people for no clear reason) is performed offscreen. What dastardly deeds DOES he perform on-screen? He buys an under-21 girl alcohol, and then suggests that they might engage in sexual relations! In later scenes, he has consensual sex with another woman! Good heavens! Now granted, this DOES fall under "so bad it's hilarious" territory, so if that's what you're looking for (as I was), go ahead and give it a shot! But honestly? It's almost too bland to even find it's lameless entertaining. If you want a hilariously bad Jekyll and Hyde story, I suggest looking up the David Hasselhoff version of the Jekyll and Hyde stage musical ("It's Phantom-lite!"). Or, for a better modern adaptation with a charmingly over-the-top Hyde? Check out Steven Moffat's "Jekyll" from BBC! Jekyll nerdette OUT!

This movie has great production values, good acting, a good idea behind the script, and competent crew, yet it fails at being in any way interesting or entertaining. The problem is how the story is told. Rather than go with a straightforward timeline, they mixed present and past and added a voice-over that provides some philosophical musings. The basic story is of course Jeckyl and Hyde: 2 personalities in one person, one good, one bad. The twist here is that the transformation is achieved here by a medical student looking for some breakthrough medication by experimenting with illicit drugs. The main character is established as a good guy only in a few scenes, most of the movie he spends as a bad guy, and he sure gets bad. Some of the scenes would be classified as "torture porn" by some, but in this case the victims are mostly males for some reason. Another sleazy character provides the drugs. Then there's the mandatory loving girl, who's interested in our JH for no reason and goes out of her way to care for him. Another friend gets to be the nice guy who gets bullied. There is not one character to care for. There's some gore and violence, a little bit of nudity of a corpse. Nothing that would make this movie worthwhile. Overall, for a horror movie this is rather tame and lame, slow-going and uninteresting.

This is suspenseful, kind of scary movie. It's a young version of the story. It's about a young genius medical student and he's not happy with his life. His whole life he's been the outcast type of guy, so he comes up with this drug that makes him this other person. The problem is, of course, the drug has many side affects and he eventually loses control. It's cool because a lot of kids can relate to it, cause who didn't wish when they were younger that they could just take a pill and be someone else. Plus, I think that Bryan Fisher is gorgeous. I think that we will soon be seeing him on the big screen a lot in the future. Bryan Fisher if you read this, you have such a hot 'sex face.' I can't wait to watch you in your future movies. Jekyll plus Hyde was awesome.
