Put yourself in her place! The dreaded night when her lover became a madman!
Dr. Henry Jekyll believes that there are two distinct sides to men - a good and an evil side. He believes that by separating the two, man can become liberated. He succeeds in his experiments with chemicals to accomplish this and transforms into Hyde to commit horrendous crimes. When he discontinues use of the drug, it is already too late.

[4.5/10] This was on my watchlist for such a long time. I’ve had a soft spot for the story since the first time I ever heard it. But honestly, I didn’t love this adaptation. I always try to adjust my perspective with vintage films, understanding how groundbreaking many were at the time, and I can appreciate the strong performance and creative cinematography here. The visual effects during the transformation scenes were particularly impressive for the time. But in the end, I thought the movie just felt much longer than it actually was, which was not a great thing in this case, lol. Just a little tiresome for me.
There were moments I enjoyed, but I wouldn’t revisit it, nor would I recommend it to most people. Probably only lovers of old film. That said, I’m glad I finally watched it. I would like to explore other adaptations!
Also, I must say I really HATE the original pronunciation of Jekyll. :rofl:
