The perfect blend of mystery and horror into a breathtaking thriller.

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2001)

"From Hell" is a brilliantly effective movie, leading the viewer on twists and turns and hitting hard. While the gore isn't excessive--most is left to the imagination--there's just enough that you do see that you're forced to imagine the details left out. Johnny Depp was his usual excellent self, and Heather Graham surprised me with the quality of acting she showed. The entire Jack the Ripper issue is put into a whole new light here, and the result is a movie that can literally leave one stunned. It sure did me; about halfway home from the theater, I took a deep breath and just said, "woah."
