what a lovely movie to look at . wonderful costume and set make this movie a real treat to the eye . some of the best i have see in a period horror film . the acting be also quite good . it just too bad that this be all the son of dr. jekyll have to offer . it easy to see why this film be title the son of dr. jekyll and not the son of mr. hyde . other than the opening scene where hyde ( i be not entirely sure it be hyde ) have about five minute of screen time and we see him for less than 10 second in the rest of the film . very disappointing . without hyde and dr. jekyll have a tough time carry a movie by himself . the movie be really more of a crime mystery than a horror regardless of how it be list on imdb . the son spend the majority of the movie tie to figure out who be frame him a mad killer . while it be a decent enough idea for a movie and the killer true identity be give away so early that there be few dramatic or tense moment later on .
