Can't wait to visit Whitechapel again!

Rating: 10/10 (20 October 2001)

Wow! Not predectiable or boring like some of the current films out there in moive land. This film is on my Best Films of 2001 list. To be frank one of the best films of the month of October 2001. I wish this film came out in the summer of 2001 to save us from such idot films like "Planet of the Apes" or Jurassic Park 3". Hats off to the Hughes Brothers for a a very thought provoking film. Orginial, thought provoking and what an excellent use of film technics. I loved the sets, art direction, the use of shadow & lights, primary colors and time lapse photography to heighten the tense situation. The score was great too, very dark and haunting, I can't wait to own the soundtrack. The Hughes brothers deserve an Oscar nod for Best dirctor, and Ian Holm desvers an Oscar nod for Best actor for his role. Great film. An instant cult classic. Great way the Hughes brothers mixed fact and fiction and put some new twists on the tale & legend of Jack the Ripper. I highly reccomed this film. A great film for discussion afterwards. For the strong and mature and very open minded. Can't wait too see it a 2nd time. Not to be missed, forget the rest and see "From Hell". Alot of great suprises along the way too.
