mikemdp Holy moly. Here I am exactly 17 minutes into the film and I'm already regretting spending three bucks for it at Big Lots. Three bucks! At Big Lots, that's a helluva lot of KitKats I gave up in favor of this awful film, and boy, do I feel cheated.Tony Todd? Good in "Candyman" and nothing else, including this. As the titular doctor he's bland, boring and uninteresting. As the titular monster, he's laughable -- equal parts Jerry Lewis in the original "Nutty Professor" and Eric Roberts in anything.Tracy Scoggins has grown old to look like Lily Munster. Except, the actress who played Lily Munster had to work at it. Damn, that's sad.I won't insult you by recapping the plot. You know the story, and none of the differences in this film matter, anyway.There's lots of college coeds in early-'90s lip gloss who don't take anything off. At least they could have given us that. But director John Carl Buechler, who is just... oh, just awful, has such contempt for anyone who would drop three smackers at Big Lots for this garbage he doesn't even give us a peek.Not that a little T&A would have made up for a nonsensical script, molasses-in-Alaska pacing, and the worst acting I've ever seen since that '80s cult VHS classic "Evil Toons" (which was better than this movie).And I want to reiterate -- though the late Roger Ebert would have likely disapproved -- I've come to these conclusions after just 17 minutes into this rotten, rotten movie. I turned it off after deciding my life was worth more than spending time on this.I've read in other reviews Jekyll turns into a giant monkeyman at the end.Not worth it, folks. I'm going to bed. And I hope Big Lots exchanges this for three bucks in KitKats tomorrow.

lampley Total CRAP! Waste of Talent, Waste of Money, Waste of Time.(Spoiler) Any time a minor character tells another minor character in the beginning of the movie that the Major character is "Gorgeous" and we've already seen him as a possibly charming but homely lug, we are in BIG trouble. The makeup man is the director and it's terrible makeup.Poor Tracy Scoggins, normally a beautiful woman, looks like a retired hooker with that shaved eyebrow blue streak eye shadow stretching back to her temples.Tony Todd is just not equipped to rescue this celluloid miscarriage.Nuthin' but offensive Pimpaganda.Pheeww! Somebody open a window!

joemamaohio Renowned horror legend Tony Todd ("Candyman") brings to life...once again...the story of Dr. Jekyll and his monstrous alter-ego, Mr. Hyde. Only this time, it's in modern times, and he's a scientist who's working with animals to discover something (I don't remember what it was, the movie was THAT bad).The violence is extremely toned down, the storyline is so overdone that it's simply boring, and the ending (SPOILER): Jekyll turns into Hyde...and then turns into a giant monkey-man.Once again, I feel that Robert Louis Stevenson is rolling over in his grave.

odupoptart I'm not going into the story, as I'm sure most people are familiar with the story of Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde already, so I'm just gonna go with the technical aspects. The film looked like a film school student's attempt to make a full-length feature. The actors were sub-par, the settings looked fake (I mean come on... a chief of police should have an actual OFFICE, not a CUBICLE!!), the dialog was amazingly horrible (listen to the dialog between Utterson, who is the chick detective, and the chief of police... it is so bad, it's hilarious!) and the special effects were low-quality. Mr. Hyde's make-up looked ridiculous... I think they used 2 wigs for Hyde, as in some scenes it looked black and in other scenes, it looked brown. The ending (which, as I said, I will not divulge)... well... what I will say about the ending is that it didn't tie the story up for me in a neat little package. In fact, the whole story was so jumbled up and it's obvious that the script needed at least one or two more revisions. Overall, it was confusing and it looked cheaply made. However, if you're stuck watching it with your boyfriend because he has to screen it for work, as was my case, it was a lot of fun joking the movie the whole time. But otherwise, I wouldn't pay to see this movie.
