Hammer Films' Doctor Jekyll Heads Home This August

Hammer Films latest, Doctor Jekyll, heads home on Blu-ray this August.

“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.”

After what seemed like forever, Hammer made a triumphant return to the big screen with a new adaptation of the classic story of Jekyll & Hyde.

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.

The latest ‘Hammer Horror’ will be available on Blu-ray from August 5th, 2024. In a fantastic move by Hammer, the Blu-ray will also be region free, meaning it can be watched at home anywhere in the world.

The release will also include the following special features-

• Commentary with director Joe Stephenson and actor Scott Chambers.

• Deleted and extended scenes.

• Creating the music featurette.

• Hammer A.D. 2023 featurette.

I really enjoyed this one- "A strong start that will hopefully mark a new beginning for the infamous ‘Hammer Horror’ films." - so I'll be looking to add this to my collection! You can my full review HERE.

The Blu-ray is currently available for pre-order at HMV and Amazon. You can check out full images of the release below, or alternatively the film is already available on digital.
