Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

sandro2020 You get the feeling this movie is going to be a forgettable experience after the first few minutes of viewing, production qualities are terrible from the outset and you will see better acting on a Demtel Infomercial. From a B grade movie perspective it's not even funny.Don't even watch this out of curiosity, it's a waste of 90 minutes of your life. If ever you had put off going to that slide night at a friend's place then just substitute the 90 minutes you would watch this movie and sit through it with the comforting thought that sitting through those 641 holiday snaps is a much more rewarding experience than watching this movie.You really wonder why movie studios release these types of movies but by packaging it in a glossy title then you definitely get the feeling they're just out to make a quick buck. I will however remember "Vendetta Films" and "RedAnt" who released it and approach any movies made or promoted by them very suspiciously in future.

joemamaohio Renowned horror legend Tony Todd ("Candyman") brings to life...once again...the story of Dr. Jekyll and his monstrous alter-ego, Mr. Hyde. Only this time, it's in modern times, and he's a scientist who's working with animals to discover something (I don't remember what it was, the movie was THAT bad).The violence is extremely toned down, the storyline is so overdone that it's simply boring, and the ending (SPOILER): Jekyll turns into Hyde...and then turns into a giant monkey-man.Once again, I feel that Robert Louis Stevenson is rolling over in his grave.

tobydammit-1 We should always beware when Hollywood attempts to "update" the classics, and we are usually disappointed when they do. The new film "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the exception to the rule. Though the original novella was considered groundbreaking and shocking for it's time, by today's standards it is tame and not as earth shattering as it once was. Perhaps this is because of the many stage, and film adaptations based on the original work. Most are dull and boring. To be sure, there are some classic movies and television plays, including the great, silent John Barrymore version, the wonderful Frederick March film, and the Dan Curtis produced TV version starring Jack Palance. We may now add a new winning adaptation to the lexicon of Jekyll and Hyde. This is a contemporary retelling of the story and this adaptation takes some liberties in translating it to the screen. --But then again, what screen adaptations don't take liberties? This is a fun, fast paced, horror film that delivers the goods! Writer/director John Carl Buechler is no stranger to horror icons. He directed Friday the 13th part 7, and created the stunning visual and make-up effects for numerous horror classics in the 1980's, including; Nightmare on Elm Street, and the Halloween movie franchises. In many ways he has structured is vision of the literary classic as a sort of retro nod to those vintage eighties horror pix. It is fast, furious, often funny, and absolutely terrifying at times. In the first few minutes of the movie, the screen explodes with action, mystery and gore. I don't want to reveal the excellent new slant this picture brings to light, but suffice to say the picture is both inventive and spine tingling. Perhaps the reason that this picture works so well is that as an independent film, it was made on a modest budget, with no studio interference. Either way, Tony Todd is great in the dual roles of Jekyll and Hyde, his ability to combine humor and pathos is nothing less than genius. Se it on the big screen with a full house if you can.

odupoptart I'm not going into the story, as I'm sure most people are familiar with the story of Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde already, so I'm just gonna go with the technical aspects. The film looked like a film school student's attempt to make a full-length feature. The actors were sub-par, the settings looked fake (I mean come on... a chief of police should have an actual OFFICE, not a CUBICLE!!), the dialog was amazingly horrible (listen to the dialog between Utterson, who is the chick detective, and the chief of police... it is so bad, it's hilarious!) and the special effects were low-quality. Mr. Hyde's make-up looked ridiculous... I think they used 2 wigs for Hyde, as in some scenes it looked black and in other scenes, it looked brown. The ending (which, as I said, I will not divulge)... well... what I will say about the ending is that it didn't tie the story up for me in a neat little package. In fact, the whole story was so jumbled up and it's obvious that the script needed at least one or two more revisions. Overall, it was confusing and it looked cheaply made. However, if you're stuck watching it with your boyfriend because he has to screen it for work, as was my case, it was a lot of fun joking the movie the whole time. But otherwise, I wouldn't pay to see this movie.
