Avis à la une
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.
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.

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.

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.

Sure, I assume that the majority of horror fans are in greater or lesser extend familiar with the Jekyll and Hyde story. And as such, I opted to sit down and watch this 2021 take on the story, from director Steve Lawson. Needless to say that I had never actually heard about this particular movie prior to watching it.
And talk about a botched attempt of constructing an entertaining thriller mystery. Writers Steve Lawson and Robert Louis Stevenson managed to concoct a very stale and slow paced narrative, that leaves the viewers desperately wishing for something interesting or even just remotely thrilling to happen. It never did, and thus 85 minutes is a rather waste of effort, should you opt to sit down and watch "Jekyll and Hyde".
I was not entertained by this movie, and I found the characters about as interesting as tooth decay. So, not at all. A testament to the writing level of Steve Lawson and Robert Louis Stevenson.
The acting performances in the movie were forgettable. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble, but after having suffered through "Jekyll and Hyde", I can't claim that I am in any particular rush to track down movies from the cast ensemble here.
Visually then "Jekyll and Hyde" was bland. So very, very bland. Yeah, you don't even have interesting special effects to look forward to, should you opt to waste 85 minutes on watching this 2021 movie from director Steve Lawson.
"Jekyll and Hyde" came and went without any kind of impact or lasting impression. And just as quietly as the movie snuck in under the radar, just as quietly will the mists of oblivion gobble up the movie and safely nestle it away from further delvings.
My rating of "Jekyll and Hyde" lands on a very generous two out of ten stars.
