A MONSTROUS MISFIREJuly 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm a sucker for classic horror, particularly the familiar but poignant case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. In fact, I've even thought about writing my own take on the immortal tale. If I ever do, I'll be careful to make it as totally unlike this disappointing production as possible.
The premise, if a little offbeat, is still promising. The unorthdox (and very self-centered) Dr. Jekyll discovers a way to download computer viruses directly into the human brain, a discovery which the "good" doctor hopes will lead to major breathroughs in human medicine. Unfortunately, the virus he tests on himself turns out to be the incarnation of a rather unsavory character called Edward Hyde, and before long Hyde is taking Jekyll places he never dared to go before. Soon, Jekyll's impending marriage is threatened and he's drawn by his unscrupulous alter ego into a bizarre relationship with an enigmatic stripper. Can Jekyll's friends save him from himself before it's too late?
The plot, weird as it is, isn't the problem. Or at least not the biggest one. I could handle a computer-generated Hyde, but this movie's concept of him never works. He is dangerous, but he's also campy and ridiculous. Basically a walking cartoon, this version of Hyde is just a parody of the real thing. Jekyll himself isn't much better--he's a selfish, immature jerk who never stops to think of the consequences of his actions and for whom it's difficult to ever muster the least bit of sympathy.
Production values aren't great either, and are particularly disappointing in the several action scenes, which are badly choreographed and too unconvincing to generate any excitement. The script is muddled and the dialogue is often agonizing. At least the gore is limited, as the filmmakers apparently aspired to make a more character-driven modern horror film as opposed to a gorefest. That's laudable--though some will consider it another mark against it--but unfortunately the drama never comes to life with any authority. There aren't many special effects, and while there didn't really need to be a lot of FX the transformation scenes between Jekyll and Hyde are hokey and unintentionally humorous.
It's a pity this movie isn't at least a little better than it is, because certain elements of the script and the general tone of the production suggest some hard work and forethought. Unfortunately, the overall package just doesn't fit together. Hampered by a badly-written Hyde, unsympathetic characters, and lackluster production values, JEKYLL fails on almost every level.
