" Notes: It was visually pretty neat, especially for a movie produced more than 100 years ago. To be honest, even though Edward Hyde did look pretty hideous, I wish they did develop more this character though. In my opinion, even though Dr Henry Jekyll is described as a righteous man, deep down, he actually wanted to indulge in this dark ‘stuff’ (I wish they did display more specifically what was so depraved about Hyde's behavior) and I do believe that he was using Hyde as an excuse.

A good movie

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it seemed to have a decent reputation and since it was on YouTube, I thought I might as well check it out. Even though I have seen so many movies dealing with Frankenstein or Dracula, probably too many, it had been a while since I saw a feature focusing on this iconic character and I actually enjoyed this vintage version.

A very effective silent film of a classic

“The story itself is classic status, with an iconic titular character that is been imitated many a time but rarely equalled and a story that still chills me to the bone every time I read it. This 1920 silent film is very effective. For my money the best Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is the 1931 film with Fredric March(I was disappointed in the 1941 film with Spencer Tracy personally). This still doesn't stop me from really liking this though. Some of it is rather slow, and not helped by some sequences that could've been shorter or excised. However, the costumes, sets and photography are wonderful and not at all dated, all the pivotal scenes are done with the correct atmosphere- true the transformation sequence is overdone slightly but it is also quite scary- and the ending doesn't disappoint either” read more
