twisted version of the old ripper legend

This film is a relatively decent portrayal of the ripper murders of the late 1880's. Klaus Kiniski does a very good job depicting the mental instability that must have plagued the real Jack the Ripper. Overall , I was a bit dissappointed in the film's relative lack of gore considering the unsavory reputation this film supposedly has. But there is plenty of atmosphere and a touch of gothic to the fim's ambience. If you want blood and graphic depictions of murder check out New York Ripper instead, but if you are in the mood for a good european style thriller with some creepy atmosphere and an even creepier actor then check out Jack the Ripper.
