DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE(1920)

This is the silent version of this movie. While I know
for it's time it was considered an excellent movie, I've
never been a fan of silent movies, and this was no
exception! C+
From an IMDb.com customer:
Jekyll & Hyde 1920 really is a good silent horror
film. I would not say all silent films are good
just because they are the first moving pictures
but this film is actually GOOD!
John Barrymore really plays both roles well. Even
in a silent film J. Barrymore manages to show two
completely different personalities without one
word being heard. It's in the acting ability and
not in any spoken words. There are plenty of
"talkie" films where one person plays two different
personalities and it's not the words they use but
their acting ability that can pull it off - like
J. Barrymore did in this film.
The movie is visually stimulating - the whole
movie has an eerie look and feel to it as it
should. I love the costuming and sets in this
film very creepy!
Jekyll & Hyde is a great story to begin with
and this film does the story justice! I highly
recommend this movie to film buffs and for
those that love a good classic horror film.
