If Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde hit the spot, these will too

Both keep coming back to the same thing: pre-code
The difference: Trades the stillness of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for an angle of its own

The same preoccupation in both: black and white

Common ground: black and white
The difference: 20 years apart, and the 1950s show

Both land dread and unease at once

Cerebral where it counts, contemplative underneath

Both are built on the same subject: pre-code

One thread runs through both: transformation

Dread-soaked horror, and it commits to that

Both lean on unease more than on science fiction
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Drama with a pulse of ideas, in both cases
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde does

Dread-soaked horror in both cases

Both are built on the same subject: transformation
