I was wondering if Ivy's get cuts and scars on her back. Did Hyde hurt her on the back?

I think he scratched her, like Michael Caine.

Or maybe he whipped her while she & Bea were pulling his carriage! :)

He whipped her.
In a lost scene from the 1931 film, of which this version is a remake, it is made clear that he repeatedly lashed the hell out of her.
Too risqué for the Hollywood version I presume.

Sometimes it's what you do not see that makes it scarier.

Sometimes it's what you do not see that makes it scarier.

The allusion of Ivy's back injuries resulting from sexual abuse and Jekyll's psychological illusions of Ivy (along with Beatrix) as a horse that he rides results in vivid imaginations as a viewer.

I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

Though the 1931 film was made by Paramount, a Hollywood studio, in Hollywood.
