4Interesting movie for Depp fans
PostedRaymombVerified Purchase
This review is from From Hell [DVD] [2001]
“From Hell” is a remarkable movie starring Johnny Depp as the main investigator in 1888, London England trying to solve the murders of “ladies in waiting” at the hands of “Jack The Ripper.” Depp’s acting is interesting, intriguing and really drives this version of “The Ripper” story that is vaguely based on Alan Moore’s graphic novel. This film also stars Heather Graham plays, whom plays ‘lady of the evening’ Mary Kelly (Kelly was a real life “lady in waiting” during the real murders in London). Graham has an interesting “cleaner look” than the other actresses playing evening ladies in this film. This is not a big thing; it is just something that is a quirky observation. Since this film is in fact derived from a graphic novel, the film offers a very unique perspective to the lore of what actually happen back in 1888 London. If a person is a really big “The Ripper” aficionado and is strict stickler to the actual facts of the original story, this film needs to be watched with a very open mind. If not watched with an open mind, this film can be a very big disappointment to the viewer. This movie will be thought provoking in some sort of way, it might even be a bit of a head scratcher during some parts, if you are on the fence about getting this movie or watching it, I say give it a shot.

A classic murder mystery gets a scandalous twist. In this film Jack The Ripper is portrayed as a man enlisted to cover up a secret from the highest level of society. Johnny Depp plays and Investigator hot on the trail. Having never read the graphic novel i cant make a comparison of book from movie. I can tell you i enjoy this movie though. These Day of the Dead SteelBooks are catching some flack. I can tell you this one looks way better than the UK version that came before it.

This review is from From Hell [Blu-ray] [2001]
I wasn't expecting much from this movie. The critics passed it over rather quickly, saying a few kind words but without a strong recommendation. The couple of people I knew who saw this said that it was "good," but never cared to say much more than that and have never brought it up again. As I sat down to watch it, I thought it looked nice but moved too fast, was a little dumb. But by the end, I was astounded. I think it's one of the best films of 2001. Sure, it's a triumph of style over substance, but I think we need a couple of good films like this every year. I love this style of films.

5Excellent psychological thriller!!!
Postedredandblack6sThis review is from From Hell [DVD] [2001]
This was a great movie, my wife and I loved it! Johnny Depp remains one of the elite actors of today. This movie is a great twist on the Jack the Ripper case. A lot of what's in this film is fact, the fiction is more or less theoretical. If you're a fan of serial killer thrillers and mysteries, I highly recommend this film! Also, some other great Johnny Depp films I recommend are Sleepy Hollow, Astronaut's Wife, Secret Window, Blow, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

This review is from From Hell [Blu-ray] [2001]
I like when Johnny Depp goes for more dramatic stories as this one, and it's a pretty stylish take on the history of Jack The Ripper. If you're not a horror fan be prepared for quite a bit of blood, artfully done but it does get a bit gory at times. Not a huge difference between DVD and Blu-Ray but probably enough that you'll notice if you're upgrading from DVD.

3Decent movie, bad English accents

This review is from From Hell [Blu-ray] [2001]
The story is moderately good. However, for movie set in Victorian England and shot in the dark it is not very atmospheric. It feels like it could have been filmed on Hollywood set and not on location. Also, the two leads of the picture, Depp and Graham, had little chemistry and even worse accents. Graham's was so bad it was distracting.

Johnny Depp is amazing. He has to be one of favorite actors. I've seen a lot of his films, but I've never seen this one. So of course I had to pick this up. one because, I've never seen it' two, because its a Steelbook.

I bought this after having seen it once and not liking it (I was bird and decided t give it a second chance). I was glad I did because it was very well done, albeit gory in some parts. It is based more on the graphic novel than the real case files. So, expect to watch it for what it is: a horror film.
