THE EPIC STRUGGLE BETWEEN GOOD & EVIL...

 

An evocative gothic thriller based on the classic novella by Robert Louis Stevenson, Jekyll & Hyde follows the brilliant Dr. Henry Jekyll as he attempts to separate the good and evil within mankind through scientific experimentation. When his experiments unleash the dark and dangerous Edward Hyde, Jekyll finds himself trapped in a terrifying battle between his dual identities.
