Underrated. Visually stunning Horror movie.

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2006)

This is an underrated movie that takes into another direction the well known case of Jack The Ripper. The events and situations are pretty accurate but with the touch of Hollywood. I mean, there are a lot of exaggerations in some situations but the movie is meant to entertain and not be taken too seriously.
The characters are great and portrayed perfectly by talented actors such as Depp and Cochran. The direction of the movie is very good and atmospheric. This movie has great cinematography and art direction. The settings are simply great and truly resemble the England of that time.
In the Horror aspect, the movie has great gore and violence. I dug the unrated version. The fact that the Elephant Man does a cameo is a great moment in the movie.
I cannot comment that much on this one because it has to be watched objectively and do not associate it 100% with the serial killer we all know. The movie is more about fictitious facts that compliment perfectly the original facts.
