What is the story of Doctor Jekyll about?
Directed by Joe Stephenson, Doctor Jekyll is a modern adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic horror story Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. Dan Kelly-Mulhern carried the classic tale from the Gothic age and gave it a contemporary interpretation.
Eddie Izzard plays the role of Dr. Nina Jekyll, a widely successful chemist, who alienates herself completely from the outer world and seeks refuge in an old mansion. The mansion with its ancient architecture, dark hallways, and large empty rooms, has still kept echoes from the 19th century.
Rob (played by Scott Chambers), is hired by Dr. Nina into the castle for assistance, but soon Rob finds out that the house has kept a dark history within it. Rob starts working with Dr. Nina but eventually realizes she has secrets buried within herself.
Dr. Nina is possessed by her alter-ego Hyde, who threatens to destroy her entire life. Rob falls into a situation where he must help Nina get rid of Hyde before it takes over her completely.
The movie is an amalgamation of a classic horror tale mixed with modern-day science. The movie takes ancient terror and blends it with psychological issues especially, Dissociative identity disorder (DID).
