“The untold story of Jekyll and Hyde”
Directed by Stephen Frears
🏆 6 nominations
The premise
A housemaid falls in love with Dr. Jekyll and his darkly mysterious counterpart, Mr. Hyde.
Horror Vault's take
Seen through the eyes of a quietly devoted housemaid, this Victorian Gothic retelling of the Jekyll and Hyde legend trades spectacle for intimacy and unease. Mary Reilly finds herself drawn to both the reserved doctor she serves and the dangerous stranger who moves through his world like a shadow. The film lingers in gaslit corridors and suppressed emotions, building dread not from monsters but from the people we trust most. It is a psychological slow-burn that asks what it means to love someone whose darkness you cannot fully see.
