Wonderful gothic horror movie

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2002)

When From Hell premiered in the States I knew I had to see it. I read about its story and it seemed like a really good horror movie. Too bad it wasn´t much of a hit. Nonetheless, when it premiered here in Finland I went see it and I wasn´t disappointed at all. On the contrary. European critics also seemed to like the movie more than their American colleagues. Our local newspaper, for example, gave the movie a pretty good review.
From Hell is actually quite similar to Tim Burton´s gothic masterpiece Sleepy Hollow which also starred Johnny Depp. Both movies are dark and old-fashioned horror movies. Like Sleepy Hollow, From Hell has a solid cast lead by Depp, Robbie Coltrane and Heather Graham. This time heads won´t roll, but scares are guaranteed.
From Hell gets 8 out of 10.
