Instead of the traditional setting of Victorian England in which most of these adaptations are set in, this 2006 movie is set in modern times, in a college town. Tony Todd (Clive Barker's Candyman, Final Destination 2) portrays that of Henry Jekyll and Hyde in this suspenseful, cheesy adaptation. Henry Jekyll, a doctor who has cured a primate of a heart condition, decides to try his own serum, injecting himself. Instead of the classical storyline of Jekyll and Hyde residing in one body, the two characters become a split personality, often both thriving at the same time, talking to one another in seperate entities. Hyde is truly the definition of a monster, not only preying on the innocent, who his targets in this film are that of young college women, but literally tearing and eating them a

  • Instead of the traditional setting of Victorian England in which most of these adaptations are set in, this 2006 movie is set in modern times, in a college town. Tony Todd (Clive Barker's Candyman, Final Destination 2) portrays that of Henry Jekyll and Hyde in this suspenseful, cheesy adaptation. Henry Jekyll, a doctor who has cured a primate of a heart condition, decides to try his own serum, injecting himself. Instead of the classical storyline of Jekyll and Hyde residing in one body, the two characters become a split personality, often both thriving at the same time, talking to one another in seperate entities. Hyde is truly the definition of a monster, not only preying on the innocent, who his targets in this film are that of young college women, but literally tearing and eating them apart from the inside out and sexually assaulting them. In this sense, he could be compared to that of a werewolf, for his victims are normally attacked at night and tore apart by his teeth and claws. Jekyll is framed in this story and ends up paying ($50,000) off the families of the murdered in order to cover his "others" tracks. Eventually unable to control Hyde, Jekyll attempts to turn himself into the police, but Hyde refuses to let it happen because he knows if they put Jekyll to death, Hyde goes along with him. Eventually, Jekyll finds he has no choice but to commit suicide, jumping off a building, with the last words, "It was for my soul!" The characters in this film are only similar to those in the novel, in that they have the same name, but generally serve a different purpose. Characters who reside in both this film and the 1886 novella include: Dr. Henry Jekyll/Edward "Eddie" Hyde (Tony Todd), Karen Utterson, played as a woman instead of the man, in the novel (Tracy Scoggins), Dr. Lanyon (Vernon Wells), Poole (Peter Lupus III), Donna Carew (Deborah Shelton), and Richard Enfield (Stephen Wastell). All of these characters have a more modern place within this story line. An example of this is Utterson playing a woman detective trying to solve the case of the college women murders. Poole, a personal assistant of Henry Jekyll, plays a similar character to that of the novel, often sticking up for most of Jekyll's behavior.
