Very Gory! Freakfest!

Rating: Null/10 (21 October 2001)

Who ever can sit through this whole movie w/o blinking...seriously has cojones! The movie gets to you, and haunts you. You cant get it out of you head. It is seriously disturbing. Even if you close your eyes in all those gory murder scenes, which is the majority of movie, you will still be affected b/c the sound effects are chilling. Johnny Depp is great and keeping a straight, unaffected face while being around those terrible model bodies. As is Robbie Coltrane. No matter how much people trash Heather Graham...I love her, and I believe she is great! And though it is a bit unrealistic that she is so clean and perfect, while all the other hooker are dirty, have bad teeth, and messy hair. Its a chilling, realistic, grimy depiction of Jack the Ripper and the 1888 Whitechapel murders. Though the movie was a bit ruined since I was familiar with the theory of Jack the Ripper's identity in this movie, and knew who he would be.
