Henry Jekyll is a troubled man. His wife died of pneumonia. He wants his sister-in-law, but her father forbids any contact. And his experiments into the dual nature of man have yielded a personality-splitting drug that he has tested on himself, changing him into an uninhibited brute who seeks violent and undignified pleasures. Jekyll quickly becomes addicted to the sordid freedom induced by the drug. He can commit the most enjoyably revolting deeds, then return to his laboratory and use an antidote to change back to his original form, so that his lofty persona remains untarnished.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut psychological horror about a man spiraling into addiction and losing control of his darker impulses, as his chemical escape becomes an inescapable trap. The horror is internal and intimate, watching reason crumble from within.
