In a Victorian London, the renowned doctor Henry Jekyll finds himself caught between his desire for recognition and the expectations of society. Obsessed with the duality of human nature, Jekyll decides to experiment with a formula that allows him to separate his personality into two: the respectable doctor and the libertine Edward Hyde. At first, the transformation seems to be a triumph, freeing Jekyll from moral constraints and allowing him to explore his darkest instincts.
However, what begins as a fascinating game soon devolves into a spiral of chaos. Hyde, with his violent and hedonistic nature, begins to wreak havoc, leaving a trail of destruction that endangers those Jekyll loves most, including his fiancée, an innocent young woman who becomes a target of Hyde's madness. Jekyll's internal struggle intensifies as he attempts to contain his alter ego, who takes over his life and mind.
With a gothic atmosphere and a script that plays with the tension between control and freedom, this cinematic adaptation explores themes of identity, morality, and the consequences of playing God. The story unfolds into a psychological thriller where disillusionment and despair intertwine, leading Jekyll to a final confrontation with his own creation, unleashing a horror that transcends science and delves into the supernatural.
