Dead-of-night Edinburgh replaces fog-shrouded London in this cinematic retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's gothic tale of double lives and inner demons. Lawyer Gabriel Utterson investigates his friend Dr. Jekyll's strange behavior after he names Hyde, a mysterious thug, as the sole beneficiary of his will. As Utterson delves deeper into the truth, he is drawn into the seductive world of Edinburgh's wealthy elite, but beneath the glossy façade lies a trail of macabre murders. Hope Dickson Leach's chilling script, co-written with Vlad Butucea, adds a fresh dimension to Stevenson's 1886 novella, exploring the darker side of both Utterson and Scotland's capital, renowned for its juxtaposition of elegance and grim history. The film's black-and-white cinematography enhances its period-authentic atmosphere.
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a 2023 thriller with a runtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes.
