Mary Reilly

Mary Reilly is a somber and psychologically intense drama with strong horror and tragic romance elements. The audience's primary emotional responses would revolve around Fear and Anxiety stemming from Mr. Hyde's menacing presence and unpredictable violence, coupled with the unsettling psychological unraveling of Dr. Jekyll. Sadness and Empathy are central, driven by Mary Reilly's vulnerable position, her unwavering devotion, and the tragic, doomed nature of her affections. A pervasive sense of Melancholy and the Disturbing nature of the events underscore the film's dark atmosphere, while elements of Love are present but deeply intertwined with pain and despair rather than joy.
