One of the definitive silent horror films, this adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale showcases John Barrymore’s unforgettable transformation from the kindhearted Dr. Jekyll into the monstrous Mr. Hyde. Using only his face and body, Barrymore creates one of cinema’s most chilling dual performances, setting the standard for every version that followed. A landmark of early horror, filled with eerie atmosphere and mesmerizing visuals.
