Opinions:
“With convincing make-up by Dick Smith, outstanding artwork course by Trevor Williams, and a supporting solid that features Billie Whitelaw (The Omen) and Denholm Elliott, that is best adoption of Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel subsequent to the 1932 Fredric March model. The one downside is that it’s completely shot on videotape.” George R. Reis, DVD Drive-In
” …most likely attributable to budgetary causes, it was achieved on videotape and appears it. Nonetheless, don’t permit this to place you off. This one ranks excessive so far as display variations of the guide are involved and it’s completely absorbing for its total two-hour operating time.” Digital Retribution
” …the opening scene the place Physician Jekyll faces off with a sneering panel of physicians is slightly too cliched to essentially be efficient, and having many of the dialogue reprised throughout the ultimate confrontation scene is the one draw back to what’s in any other case a very efficient scene. However these are actually minor quibbles; the film works very effectively certainly…” Dave Sindelar, Implausible Film Musings and Ramblings
“Palance additionally hits simply the appropriate notes as Jekyll (which isn’t essentially straightforward, as Palance seems fairly intimidating even because the refined Physician Jekyll). The character traces a form of bell curve by way of the movie– anxious and beneath assault by his colleagues originally, intoxicated by Hyde’s perverse joie de vivre within the center, and worn out and hopeless on the finish.” Brian Schuck, Movies from Past the Time Barrier
” …this can be a good-looking and well-written model of the story which explores numerous parts of the story which have been ignored in different variations. Some have referred to as it the perfect model of the story – frankly I’ve my doubts – however what’s true is that it’s a very strong and watchable model, and it stays constantly entertaining.” Rivets on the Poster

“Palance is first-rate in each titular roles, effectively achieved rating by Robert Cobert. Whitelaw (Damien’s sinister nanny from The Omen) is fetching as Hyde’s clinging hooker. Good make-up by Dick Smith.” The Terror Lure
“Jekyll’s final weak point of character is uncovered because the movie reaches its climax, and Palance builds it up completely along with his efficiency. This can be a must-see for followers of gothic horror, Jack Palance, and simply well-made movies.” Steve Miller, Terror Titans
