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.

Critics Consensus

Doctor Jekyll is a meandering reinterpretation whose gothic ambitions can't overcome its hollow storytelling and awkward tonal choices.

[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.

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

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.

Frankly, it’s also refreshing to see Izzard play two self-assured women for the price of one. The problem is that Doctor Jekyll doesn’t know what it wants to be.

The precarious surroundings are complemented by a suspenseful score throughout each nail-biting sequence with perfection.

This schlocky horror breathes a bit of fresh air into Stevenson’s original.

Izzard is a bold pick for Jekyll, but she’s stuck in a flat script, with little to lift it from the depths.

A fun, non compicated jaunt into the English countryside to see what is behind the closed and sometimes locked doors of societal position and standing. This isn't a blood feast, however, the fun of slashers is present in what isn't shown or said. Eddie Izzard delivers a tuned performance of intrigue into the character of Doctor Jekyll. Scott Chambers (Rob Stevenson) is naively brought in as our eyes. Lindsay Duncan is wonderful as a red herring evil. Found it enjoyable.

I think most critics didn't "get it". This is a far better movie than what I had read about. Eddie Izzard is perfect as Dr. Jekyll, both sincere and sinister. And I sensed a real chemistry between Ms. Izzard and her co-star Scott Chambers playing a hapless, desperate, and confused young man with a past. A great addition to gothic horror in general and Hammer productions in particular. Bravo to all involved!

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.

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!

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
