If you are wary of seeing the same movie redone again, and again, don't let that stop you from watching this version of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.
No, it is not perfect, and yes it does drag a bit, but there is enough here to recommend it to any horror fan.
There is an interesting enough plot twist that explains Mr. Hyde's existence that gives a new angle to this old story. Dougray Scott is very good in the lead role, and the attorney representing Dr. Jekkyl (Krista Bridges) is very easy to look at and does a fine job in her role, as well.
The transformations from Jekyll to Hyde are actually well done, inasmuch as they are not overdone.
There is one major Hollywood moment - yes, the scientist discovers the antidote just as he is being arrested and is unable to administer it to himself. Oh, if he only had one more second! The trial is difficult to believe, but contrivances are something I have learned to live with as a horror fan.
There is a very nice twist at the end, though not completely surprising.
Although Tom Skerrit is heavily publicized in the ads for the movie, his role is actually rather small and unnecessary.
Over all, well worth a watch.
