Dr. Nina Jekyll pushed the glass ceiling of the pharmaceutical industry to its limits, rubbing shoulders with the elite, becoming a household name and making herself a fortune. But her success came at a cost, and after scandal forced her out of the spotlight she now lives in seclusion with her demons. In need of an assistant, Jekyll hires ex-con Rob, straight out of rehab and trying to get back on his feet. It soon becomes clear that there are evil forces at play and Rob's wits are tested in a game of cat and mouse with the Devil in all its forms.

[F]or as much as "Doctor Jekyll" rides high on its compelling central performance (and the gender politics therein), the film that surrounds that star turn can't quite hide (or Hyde?) its weightlessness.

Rated: 2/4

TheWrap

Part throwback, part update and a little bit creaky, it’s all-in-all an excellent showcase of Izzard’s wonderful talents.

Variety

Though Stephenson finds a more-than-game collaborator in Izzard as both the good and evil doctor, “Doctor Jekyll” is meandering and empty, an update with neither enough loyalty to its source material or imagination to make its departures meaningful.

A meandering, dull adaptation that even Izzard's delightful performance can't salvage.

Rated: 2/5

Joe Lipsett

Horror Queers Podcast

Despite strong performances, writer Dan Kelly-Mulhern doesn't do anything with the material, which results in a film that's just kinda boring. You're better off revisiting 1971's Doctor Jekyll and Sister Hyde. A soft recommend just for Izzard.

Rated: 2.5/5

Movies in Focus

This Hammer Films production successfully marries gothic horror with modern sensibilities, creating a visually striking experience that pays homage to its roots while carving out its own identity.

Rated: 3/5

Valerii Ege D Doctor Jekyll is a mediocre film that tries to innovate rather than rely on the classic story, but it fails to find the right narrative. The disappointing part is that it’s a film unworthy of Eddie Izzard's performance. Her acting is exquisite, despite the weak storyline. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Tanya L Bloody Brilliant. Best movie of Suzy’s I have seen in a long time. Love the old horror Hammer films. Would love to see her in more! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Angela L A new spin on a classic story, well constructed and shot. Excellent cast in an atmospheric, sometimes unsettling narrative which is not shy when it comes to the darker aspects of it's storyline. Would have been great to have had bigger cinematic distribution Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review Alina D Really great watch! Loved the acting and chemistry brought to the table by Eddie and Scott. You can really see Rob's (Scott Chambers) character shift throughout the film. I was gripping the edge of my seat! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Andrew R Very watchable and an atmospheric throw back to the iconic Hammer of the past. Primarily a 2 hander cast with some great chemistry between Eddie Izard and Scott Chambers throughout. A steady build to the climactic heart breaking ending. Who can stop Hyde! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review kelly rian s Amazing film! Scott Chambers performance has me gripped! Must see! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
