The Son of Dr. Jekyll

The Son of Dr. Jekyll (1951) leaves a lot to be desired. It's not really this horror story reawakening of the Jekyll & Hyde monster. Only a tiny fraction is dedicated to Hyde. The film works better if you take it as a drama. The photography is pretty great, good acting and cast. There are qualities here, and there are horror elements of the original story, but for the most part it's about securing the Hyde formula and a son trying to save the family honor.

This movie wasn't much. You get about 10 seconds of a Hyde character. It had the look and the music, but weak plot and not enough action.
