Watch it at Amazon
This movie is another retelling of the classic novel Dr. Jekill and Mister Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing are there to try and get some believability into their roles. As usual, they succeed just by being there, but only partly... The rest of the movie is very clearly as cheap as it can possibly get: not much periodsettings or decors, close to none special effects and most of all: not much suspense either. Thats the main problem I guess: a lack of suspense and a lack of knowing how to tell the story. There were some 3D-effects along the way and one can spot them even by watching the movie on a VHS-tape, but maybe the producers spend to much money on that instead of on developing a decent screenplay. Maybe the director and the producers thought at the time the story was SO familiar anyway to a general audience, they would do some 3D-effects to get at least something new. It did not work out. My final conclusion is: this movie is very cheap and not worth to the actors involved. I rate this 5/10 just because of the presence of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing, but for no other reason...www.bloggen.be/chev
