Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1941)

Great Sci-Fi Horror


Simply worded: this is a great sci-fi horror film. The character development in this 1941 film is excellent - that keeps the film highly interesting.

Each version of the story has it's own differences in story with the core of the story remaining the same. This 1941 version has a great style - super good story.

What I like about the film is the fact that Mr. Hyde is not "overly done' - he looks like a regular guy yet something different and creepy looking about him --  a realistic take on the Hyde character that is appealing. Yes the  1941 Mr. Hyde is scary.

*The versions: 1920 with Barrymore and 1931 March has Mr. Hyde looking more like a monster than the 1941 with Tracy for a comparison.*

Over all this is a great film for a late night horror - worth watching if you enjoy classic horror.

9.5/10
