Mary Reilly (1996) - Movie Review

Everyone knows the story of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" but Mary Reilly is a new twist on the old story. With new characters, an entirely new perspective, and two esteemed actors, Mary Reilly gives "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" a fresh rejuvenation. The movie is more mysterious than creepy but the dark settings and rich dialog makes an utterly smooth film. Even the transformation from man and beast will surprise you, so, even if you think you know everything there is to know about "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," think again.
