      Visually impressive, but this latest Ripper tale is dull and far from scary. Read critic reviews

      • Sep 30, 2015

        The problem I had with From Hell was that it felt like I was watching a movie about Jack the Ripper, set in London. I never got that immersive cinematic experience. While the production values were fine, the way things came off reminded me too much of History Channel dramatizations. I'd put that down to overacting on the part of the supporting cast; Heather Graham and Johnny Depp were fine, as was the directing. I must admit that I ended up returning the disc early to get to the next one in my queue. I read spoilers for the rest of the film and the story sounds much more interesting than what I had seen up to that point.

        Adapted from Alan Moore's graphic novel, From Hell is a horror thriller about the 19th century serial killer Jack the Ripper. An inspector who has psychic visions is tasked with solving the case of a killer who's targeting a group of prostitutes on the streets of East London. Johnny Depp and Heather Graham lead the cast, but their performances are fairly bland. Additionally, the storytelling's rather poor, and doesn't have a clear focus or vision. However, the film does have a good amount of mystery and suspense, and the gritty visual aesthetic adds intensity to the story. From Hell has some interesting elements, but it's not very cohesive.

        Another story about jack the Ripper. I think it's a happy ending for everyone including Jack the Ripper. But not happy ending for the victim

        We don't need another one of those Jack the Ripper movies... It has a depict of London which was very lively, but didn't succeed in making the film any more interesting.
