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.
