Doctor Jekyll (2023) directed by Joe Stephenson brings a fresh perspective to the classic tale. It’s not just another horror flick; it navigates the psychological labyrinth of identity and duality with a unique twist. The atmosphere is thick with tension, effectively using shadows and lighting to enhance the eerie feel. Performances are solid, with the dynamic between Dr. Nina Jekyll and Rob feeling genuine, almost tender. The pacing has this slow build, allowing you to really soak in the dread before Hyde makes his appearance. What’s really striking here are the practical effects, which add a tactile authenticity that digital just can’t replicate. Overall, it’s a distinctive take that leans into its themes of isolation and inner turmoil rather than just relying on jump scares.
