I have given this film 2 stars because it did at least make an attempt to provide an original answer to the question of who Jack the Ripper was, it was a slightly ridiculous and deeply unsatisfying answer but at least they tried. With more budget they could've paid for better sets, better actors/actresses, better script writers and better camera operators and mitigated these failings, that said the costumes were pretty good and the props weren't too bad either. Had more money had been spent on this film it could easily be a solid 5 out of 10. All in all not the worst low budget film I've seen but not a film I would choose to watch again.

Unless there's some relevance hidden in extended and tedious opening titles, those same titles tend to give away what's to come.... This is a rather awkward, slow and decidedly predictable film, which seems to be a vanity project, and not much else.

The actors are almost as uncomfortable as the sets, which is probably what I spent most of my viewing-time being distracted by.

As for plot; the ending was telegraphed from the beginning, which could have been cleverly handled, but wasn't.

The music was devoid of atmosphere and felt like random, royalty-free downloads saved just before Limewire faded into obscurity.

The democratisation of filmmaking has simply produced more Ed Woods, and that's being generous.

I hate to leave negative reviews and will only do so rarely. However, I could almost stomach the minimal scenery and wooden acting if this was more factually correct. It implies the victims were all killed within a few nights, this was not the case! In fact these murders took place over many weeks. Some claim there were more than 5 victims but if we assume Mary Kelly was the final victim she was not killed within the secure walls of a brothel but in her own room just by the Spitalfields market. This was many weeks after the first "recognised" murder. I love watching the different movies with different interpretations of who was "jack" but this is quite poor. The Johnny Depp version was passable but my favourite is the miniseries with Michael Caine as the inspector.
