•
A well-known and respected doctor discovers a serum capable of changing the personality of those who take it. He tries it on himself and turns into a mad killer, but after some time the effectiveness of the serum fades and the doctor returns to his former self, but every time he takes this potion he loses control of himself again... The first cinematic adaptation of Stevenson's novel and also, to this day, the most effective.
