Horror Vault's take

In fog-drenched Victorian London, the brilliant and idealistic Dr. Henry Jekyll becomes consumed by a dangerous theory: that the good and evil within every man can be chemically separated. His experiments yield a monstrous result — an alter ego of unbridled savagery known as Mr. Hyde — and what begins as a pursuit of enlightenment spirals into a waking nightmare he cannot contain. This pre-Code Hollywood adaptation leans into psychological darkness and surprisingly visceral horror, anchored by a celebrated lead performance that remains striking nearly a century later.
