98% match192013+1h 19mHD
A kind doctor uses a potion to unleash the monster within.
Dr. Henry Jekyll devotes his life to healing London's poor, but becomes obsessed with one idea: separating the good and evil sides of the soul. His experiment works too well and gives life to Edward Hyde, a cruel creature who prowls the city's worst corners by night. Each transformation is harder to control. John Barrymore turned Robert Louis Stevenson's story into a silent horror classic.
