SUMMARY
1888, Whitechapel, London: a series of horrific murders of prostitutes
panics the locals and baffles the police, led by the psychic Inspector
Fred Abberline. As he begins to fall in love with one of the potential
victims, Mary Kelly, Abberline finds himself drawn into a vicious conspiracy
that reaches into the highest echelons of power...
CAPSULE REVIEW
Though it's sure to disappoint the more devoted fans of the graphic
novel, this is nonetheless an excellent Ripper movie that plays the
tale as a straight ahead horror movie with more than a touch of Hammer
about it. Much has been made of Depp and Graham's accents which, in
truth, aren't all that bad and they at least give first rate performances,
as does Robbie Coltrane who steals every scene he's in. Excellent camerawork,
set design and score all help, and the Hughes Brothers' direction is
assured and frequently inventive.
