Very disappointed

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2001)

I saw this film recently and I have to say I was rather disappointed. I have seen many documentaries on Jack the Ripper and they just give you the facts. What they found at each murder scene, who the suspects were etc... I thought that if I went to see this film, I could experience Jack the Ripper in a more real sense. But this film just felt like another documentary to me. The directors decieded to barely show the aftermath of the murders. A few brief shots of the throats and that was about it. I had heard it was so gory but it wasn't. I thought the impact of the film would have been greater and it would have been more powerful if we could have seen some of the gore. In real life the killer's cape doesn't always block the view.
