While Jack The Ripper ruled the streets of London, terror reigned. His savagery implied insanity, but his diabolical precision argued that there was a method to his madness. Johnny Depp and Heather Graham star in this "engrossing, stylish thriller" (People). In 1888 London, the unfortunate poor lead horrifying lives in the city's slums. Harassed by gangs and forced to walk the streets for a living, Mary Kelly (Graham) and her small group of companions are terrorised when their friend is kidnapped and another in their group is gruesomely murdered. The sinister murder gains the attention of Inspector Fred Abberline (Depp), a brilliant yet troubled man whose police work is often aided by his psychic abilities. Abberline becomes deeply involved with the case and as he gets closer to the truth it becomes more and more dangerous for Abberline, Mary, and the other girls. Will they be able to survive the venging force that has been sent after them from Hell?

Johnny Depp saved this movie, as he always does. Wasn't really impressed with it, was a very slow movie. Interesting conspiracy theory though.

It is an interesting concept that Jack the Ripper had a connection to the royal family, but I’m just not sure how much evidence there is out there to prove that theory. I really like the shots of old London town and Heather Graham’s giant eyes. Seriously, check out her eyeballs they are humongous!

A very different take on the old storey of Jack the Ripper. Not sure if its actually true but it definately makes for interesting viewing. Well worth seeing.
