Jack the Ripper - DVD

Jack the Ripper - Digitally Remastered. Close your eyes and whisper his name By day, Dennis Orloff (Klaus Kinski) is a respected doctor in 19th century London; by night, he dismembers prostitutes as notorious killer Jack the Ripper. As he continues to terrorize the city, a local inspectors girlfriend (Josephine Chaplin) goes undercover to catch him. The film presents one of many interpretations of the infamous serial killer, hypothesizing that his psychosis was the result of his mother being a prostitute.

Jack the Ripper is the sensational story of the bloodiest and most terrifying killer of all time, and of the horrendous and ghastly trail of crimes he committed. A great movie for everyone to watch! It will raise the hair on the back of your neck and leave you in suspense throughout! A real all-time 'slasher' classic of a movie!

A superb six-part Brit mini-series (on two discs). Johns and Windsor play two modern detectives who set out to reconstruct the various Ripper murders and prove the killer's identity. They have their writing board with all the victims' names on it. It's done in a Dragnet style police procedural manner, with much of the episodes told in flashback. A real dilemma is faced when they come uncomfortably close to revealing the killer's actual identity. Some of this may sound a little on the dry side, but don't be fooled this is a fantastic mini-series that will keep you totally engrossed all the way to the end. The music score has a tongue-in-cheek feel to it. Many gripping flashback scenes of the murders.
