Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1912)
8 August 2014
The earliest Jekyll and Hyde movie known to this date stood the test of time for me by the end of the quick 10 minute film. When it comes to silent films the music chosen in the background has to be near perfect, although it sounded good at times, the music screeched too often leaving me cringe at moments. Cruze's portrayal of the doctor and the madman was fairly well done and the initial transformation scene was better than I expected. The film could have added a few more shots of written in story lines but the plot was easy to follow. This movie is the start of my deep dive in old horror classics and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 1912 silent film was a good way to begin.
