The production opens with the serum already discovered with Jekyll and Hyde doing their transformations. Most of the film seems to center on everyone else attempting to figure out what is going on. There is a presumption the audience is familiar with the base story. Jekyll and Hyde are played by two separate characters who often appear in the same scene as they converse. At times it appears the film is about a descent into madness while other times addiction terms are used such as "chasing the dragon." What you may notice right off is that the acting was sad. The camera frequently frames the back of a person's head as if there is someone blocking your view in a theater. Jed Rowen has a death bed scene that is comical in the "so bad it is good" area. Mickey Rooney has a brief appearance as Mr. Louis while Margaret O'Brien plays Miss Stevenson. Charlene Rooney, Mickey Rooney's daughter-in-law also has a role.
Several of the art house and indie fest awards were achievement awards for the actors and had nothing to do with the quality of the film. Indeed, I would say all the awards were from name recognition.
Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
