Horror is not a film genre that rears its scary presence on Queerguru pages but for this new take on the infamous Dr Jekyll, we will make a very welcome exception. It’s because it stars one of our favorite actor/comedian/activist Suzy Izzard.
Suzy plays the reclusive Dr. Nina Jekyll/Rachel Hyde, a successful figure in the pharmaceutical industry who hires Rob as her assistant in her secluded mansion. But not everything is as it seems, as the pair are forced to join forces to prevent Hyde from ruining Doctor Nina’s life.
Directed by Joe Stephenson, the film also stars Scott Chambers, Jonathan Hyde, and Lindsay Duncan and is due to be released (in the UK) for Halloween. The timing couldn’t be better coming so soon after the Prime Minister spewed out all the anti-transgender rhetoric in a major speech. Combined with the anti-LGBT rulings from the UK’s Home Secretary, it is making this one of the most anti-gay Governments for a very long time
