Jekyll

I rec. a copy of this film in the mail a few days ago. Taking into consideration that this is a low budget production,I personally had a difficult time understanding the overall plot. Seems as though Jekyll (main Char.) has a sexual addiction and a lack of respect for the female gender, which I found offensive at times. In Several scenes there's an obvious indication of A actors VS B in acting skills, and it overtly draws away the ability to finish that particular scene, and, has created confusion in the understanding of what is supposed to be happening. The only enjoyable aspect on this production was the opening composition (Very nice). Other than that, unfortunately not a well directed and edited film. I get a sense of where it's trying to go but there were too many bad turns taken on a lonely dirt road. Musicically 8 out of 10, Acting 5 out of 10, Direction 2 out of 10, Animation/Graphics 8 out of 10.
