Eddie Izzard is Doctor Jekyll on the poster for the new adaptation

An isolated mansion, a mysterious locked room, creepy corridors, a dusty cellar and a mad doctor…Hammer horror is back with a modern reimagining of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1886 novella ‘The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’. When ex-convict Rob takes the carer position to the infamous Nina Jekyll, little does he know he’s part of an evil master plan devised by her alter ego Rachel Hyde. But to what lengths will Rob go to satisfy his client’s weird wishes and his own ambitions for the daughter he has never even seen?

Doctor Jekyll is directed by Joe Stephenson and stars Eddie Izzard, Scott Chambers, Lindsay Duncan and Simon Callow.
