DOCTOR JEKYLL - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Hammer Studios

SYNOPSIS: In a contemporary adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's novella, "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde," Nina Jekyll, is secluded as she recovers from an undisclosed incident. Seeking assistance, she interviews candidates for a live-in personal assistant to provide companionship, manage her meals, and assist with medication. She establishes a bond with her newly employed helper, Rob, and together they must collaborate to prevent Hyde from destroying her life. However, as Rob settles into the household, Dr. Jekyll experiences peculiar mood shifts, becoming hostile towards him.

REVIEW: Over the years, Robert Louis Stevenson's novella, "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde," has been adapted numerous times for both the big and small screens. In 1971, Hammer Films released their unique take on the novella, titled "Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde," directed by Roy Ward Baker. This adaptation featured a gender-bending twist. Approximately 50 years later, Hammer Films is releasing a new adaptation of Stevenson's novella, starring actor Eddie Izzard. This latest adaptation promises to bring a fresh perspective to the classic tale.

Dan Kelly-Mulhern's approach to the material is subtle and reserved. The story unfolds predominantly on Dr. Jekyll's estate, with a few additional locations, such as Rob's flat, a market, and a bar. The estate, a lavish British property, confines the action to a limited number of rooms, including the classic "locked room" trope. The plot unravels as Rob finds himself ensnared between Jekyll and her enigmatic "secretary," Sandra, who disapproves of Rob's presence. Initially, it is unclear whether Jekyll's medication or a peculiar green cigarette is responsible for her erratic mood swings, which intensify over time. Rob, depicted as somewhat naive, fails to recognize himself as the prey in this dangerous game of cat and mouse. The third act serves as a pivotal turning point, where all pretenses are dropped, and Rob is confronted with a crucial decision that drastically alters his perceived reality. Kelly-Mulhern's work presents several elements that could have been further explored for a more profound examination of the concepts of good and evil, as well as morality. At its core, the story primarily delves into the character study of Jekyll and, to a lesser extent, Rob. Notably, an aspect of the tale evokes the feeling of a staged play, particularly in its lack of smooth transitions when Jekyll transforms into Hyde.

The captivating performance of Eddie Izzard as Doctor Jekyll adds compelling layers to the film. Izzard's screen presence exudes the essence of British society, transitioning effortlessly between empathy and sociopathy. In particular, there are scenes where Izzard seamlessly shifts between vulnerability and authority, creating a dynamic interplay with Rob, played by Scott Chambers.

Chambers' portrayal of Rob prevents him from being merely a bad character. He allows the audience to perceive his character's flaws and bad choices without judging him as inherently evil. The chemistry between Izzard and Chambers is undeniable, contributing to their captivating performances.

The supporting cast, comprised of talented British actors, provides solid performances that enhance the narrative. Their collective efforts contribute to the film's overall intensity.

DOCTOR JEKYLL boasts strong production elements. While it lacks a distinct "wow" factor, the costumes, locations, lighting, editing, and production design coalesce to craft an engaging and cohesive world that serves as a riveting backdrop for the story. Blair Mowat's musical score deserves special mention, as it effectively complements the film's atmosphere, enhancing the emotional impact of the performances. Occasionally, the score evokes the classic Hammer film scores.

Hammer's first new film in decades, DOCTOR JEKYLL, deviates from expectations of a modern interpretation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novella. Set in a contemporary yet classical environment, the narrative seems shallow, failing to address the novella's profound questions. However, Eddie Izzard and Scott Chambers' captivating performances create an engaging cat-and-mouse dynamic. While the film's climax features an unexpected twist, incorporating supernatural elements that I found unconvincing, DOCTOR JEKYLL ultimately remains a solid film. Despite its inability to fully embrace the complexities of Stevenson's tale, it falters in the climax.

Horror Movie Review: Medusa (2020)

It is a horror film, with plenty of horror-based antics, but this is a film with deeper messages about the sex industry, addiction, female empowerment, and more.

Medusa, otherwise known as Medusa: Queen of the Serpents is familiar territory for those who have seen their fair share of films from Scott Chambers’ Jagged Edge Productions. Familiar in style, familiar when it comes to budgetary restraints, and familiar cast members. This isn’t a knock though as there have been plenty of good films from Jagged Edge Productions and their role in the film industry…

Cover songs can do favours to their musicians. They can make them successful like they did in the case of Juice Newton. Yes, I know, the fact her biggest hits are mostly the pieces by the other people shouldn't suggest anything, because her versions of them eventually became the most famous ones of them all. I mean, the tune in the link doesn't really differ from the original arrangement-wise, yet I think Mrs. Newton's voice fits the mood of the song much better. She has a certain swagger present in her vocals, which transforms the entire composition in a more ebbulient athmosphere. Whereas Dave Edmunds sounds like he's close towards the desperation, Juice Newton seems to be having a lot of fun during the whole enterprise.

There's something so funny about the fn*f creator (Scott) being an openly unapologetic pro life, republican, Trump supporter while still having big YouTubers play his games AND having a movie being made, meanwhile JKR is critical (not even doesn't support) of one thing and nobody can even talk about Harry Potter anymore. She wasn't even in the fucking anniversary special of her own goddamn series. Scott literally donated money to trump's campaigns. He is an open republican. I have heard zilch against his movie. Nobody is hating on Josh hutcherson for being in it. No YouTubers is being slammed for playing his game. It may as well be like it never happened. Meanwhile there are posts on here with thousands of likes talking about how if you so much as think about Harry potter then you're a bad person and should kill yourself. Everyone is bummed about the fact M*rk*pl*er won't be in the movie, meanwhile there are people who are giving earnest pleas not to hate on the children cast in the HBO version of HP. Why does nobody care? What fucking gives? What the hell is this? Scott literally openly supports Trump and he's more beloved than a democratic woman who thinks maybeeee taking people to court for saying 'sex is real' is a bit far? Why aren't fn*f fans labeled as bad people? Why isn't their support of fn*f seen as support of Scott and his views? The fuck is this double standard.
