Released in 1980, Dr Heckl and Mr Hype is based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde with the production team expressing their apologies to the late Stevenson in the credits!
This movie is a reversal of that story with the said doctor drinking a potion to become s handsome man but like Mr Hyde, Mr Hype is a violent man.
Starring as the title characters is Oliver Reed
Overall this is not bad and fun retelling of this story being done this way.
