Richard W @rdwoolf Aug 16 The new Hammer Films company is making a comeback, not just as a company that restores and releases its old catalog (something it’s doing a fantastic job on, by the way), but also its getting into producing brand new Hammer Films.DOCTOR JEKYLL is the first of hopefully many brand new horror films. Like their classic horror films, DOCTOR JEKYLL is less about slasher film body counts and more about creating a creepy mood of mystery and suspense. It slowly builds its story, letting us get to know just a little more about each character’s backgrounds and what motivates them. Even though this is a modern retelling of a Robert Louis Stevenson classic, it still has that Hammer gothic vibe. Which I happened to enjoy quite a lot. The musical score in DOCTOR JEKYLL is very good and elevates the suspense of each scene. Eddie Izzard is fantastic, as always, keeping the viewer captivated. Scott Chambers, who plays the young aide was extremely good in this as well.

See more Megan M @megan00m 12/24/2024 A fun, non compicated jaunt into the English countryside to see what is behind the closed and sometimes locked doors of societal position and standing. This isn't a blood feast, however, the fun of slashers is present in what isn't shown or said. Eddie Izzard delivers a tuned performance of intrigue into the character of Doctor Jekyll. Scott Chambers (Rob Stevenson) is naively brought in as our eyes. Lindsay Duncan is wonderful as a red herring evil. Found it enjoyable.

And I sensed a real chemistry between Ms. Izzard and her co-star Scott Chambers playing a hapless, desperate, and confused young man with a past. A great addition to gothic horror in general and Hammer productions in particular. Bravo to all involved!

The disappointing part is that it’s a film unworthy of Eddie Izzard's performance. Her acting is exquisite, despite the weak storyline. See more Tanya L @Roxanne1971 08/24/2024 Bloody Brilliant. Best movie of Suzy’s I have seen in a long time. Love the old horror Hammer films. Would love to see her in more! See more Read all reviews
