Tim Brayton Alternate Ending One of the top-shelf Hammer horror films, and probably the most perpetually undervalued. Rated: 4/5 Nov 19, 2018 Full Review Isabel Quigly The Spectator The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll is as silly and nasty a piece as Hammer and Terence Fisher have turned out which is saying something. Jul 12, 2018 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Jekyll's tragedy in this unique Stevenson revamp is that he doesn't understand that much of humanity already lives a Jekyll-and-Hyde existence -- including his unfaithful bride, who is a 'perfect wife' by day and a 'perfect mistress' by night. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 17, 2011 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion Terence Fisher's version of the Stevenson story is actually British bedroom farce, so dry and subtle that reviewers could only complain about the 'lack of horror' Sep 25, 2009 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid The movie pretty much follows the original story, without using its new twist in any interesting ways. Oct 16, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Aug 14, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Rich people problems. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A dry but interesting take on the old tale, where the Hyde alter ego is the cleaned up charming version, albeit with a complete lack of morality. There's not much horror on display though, it plays out more like an infidelity fable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a very well done Hammer flick. Massie is impressive in switching between Jekyll and Hyde. The twist, that Hyde is the good looking, clean cut one, is an interesting switch that plays out nicely. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member WOW.....WOW....SUCH AN ENJOYABLE CLASSICS HORROR MOVIE 2 WATCH WITH SUCH A FANTASTIC CAST THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE IT IS SUCH A FANTASTIC CLASSICS HORROR MOVIE 2 WATCH WITH SUCH A BRILLIANT CAST THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE......WARNING THIS MOVIE CONTAINS STROBE LIGHTNING EFFECTS THROUGHOUT SOME SCENES THROUGHOUT THIS MOVIE....... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Fair reworking of the famous horror story. The horror is a little thin but the performances and the inner turmoil scenes make up for this. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Always a boring story, and this version doesn't do much to make it exciting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
