This 1920 adaptation of *Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde* is a traditional psychological horror that centers around the internal struggle of a single male protagonist. The narrative structure relies on established Victorian clichés, focusing on the tension between morality and primal impulses. Because the film adheres to the conservative cinematic standards of its time, it offers minimal representation of diverse groups. It lacks progressive social critiques or the exploration of multiple aspects of identity, functioning instead as a study of individual pathology.
