DR. JEKYLL & MR. HYDE
Witness the terrifying and tragic downfall of Dr. Henry Jekyll, whose experiments with the human soul – to find a biological basis for morality in mankind – has unleashed a demon upon the face of the earth in the form of his truer self, Edward Hyde. From London’s fog shrouded back alleys to the palaces of the rich, Jekyll’s obsessions and Hyde’s destructive lusts combine to make a cocktail of mayhem, madness, murder, and unspeakable horror.

“Redfield in a tour-de-force performance. DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE also features an excellent ensemble cast, airtight direction, baroque studio sets, and majestic lighting, fashioning an early 20th century England full of magic, trepidation, violence, and horror…this rare treat comes recommended.” ~ Rue Morgue Magazine

____________________________
“…where Redfield starred, directed, co-wrote, co-produced, designed the sets, and presumably invented the chemical emulsion for the film in a kind of Orion Welles virtuoso effort…Redfield and his producing/writing partner, Stuart Voytilla, have created both a kinder, gentler Jekyll and a vicious, more brutal Hyde, returning in many cases to the original Stevenson novella but setting the story in 1900 London so that they can take advantage of turn-of-the-century technology for an astounding surprise ending. The whole is filmed in a brooding fantasy London that owes debts to both “The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari” and “Bride of Frankenstein”, giving it a comfortable nostalgic qua;it’s that feels like pre-1945 Hollywood. All in all, a satisfying well-told story…”
