Doctor Jekyll [Blu-ray]

Eddie Izzard gives a riveting performance as a reclusive scientist and her murderous alter-ego in Joe Stephenson’s gripping re-imagining of Robert Louis Stevenson’s seminal horror story. Co-starring Scott Chambers and Lindsay Duncan, Doctor Jekyll channels the sinister paranoia of Hammer’s classic psycho-thrillers while still remaining compelling, fresh and contemporary. Troubled ex-convict Rob lucks into the position of carer for the infamous Dr Nina Jekyll – a socially-isolated pharma billionaire with a scandalous history and violent mood swings. But Rob is a catspaw in a murderous game being played between two halves of the same mind – and by the time he realises, it may be too late.
