4/4  Scary as...well...Hell
"From Hell," based on one of the most recognized graphic novels of all time, as well as some of the most infamous criminals who ever existed. Someone as terrifying as Jack the Ripper and characters so flawed who were trying to find him...... (read full)

0.5/4  Johnny the Ripper
I saw this a couple months after taking the Jack the Ripper tour in England. Not only was this movie not factual and boring, but Heather Graham cannot act. Fortunately, she plays a prostitute so her acting ability doesn't matter.

5/5 From Hell
  by Elizabeth LaTrace
Johnny Depp is incredible! If you are a fan of his and dark films, you will love this.

3/5 Not a bad film or blu ray!
  by Yoshi (Madtown, WI)
Not a bad film for what it's worth. The first time through I was maybe expecting more but the blu is worth a purchase.

5/5 Like A Surgeon...
  by Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein (under the rubble)
Jack The Ripper has fascinated generations of would-be detectives (including myself). The fact that this legendary serial-murderer was never caught has always brought chills. FROM HELL takes some theories about the case, mixes them w/ facts, and adds a bleak air of dread and doom. Johnny Depp (Sleepy Hollow, Ed Wood, The Ninth Gate, Sweeny Todd) plays an opium-addicted police inspector, drawn into the action due to his ability to "see" certain future events in his dreams. Heather Graham is the sweet yet tough prostitute, Mary Kelly, who assists in the investigation. Ian Holm (Alien, Brazil, The Fifth Element, Lord Of The Rings) plays a kindly old doctor w/ extremely valuable information. Thick w/ symbology, conspiracy, and mystery, FROM HELL plays (somewhat) like a Sherlock Holmes story, w/ elements of horror sewn in. This is a great movie for Depp fanatics, as he comes through once again. Robbie Coltrane (Harry Potter And The...) is wonderfully low-key in his Watson-esque role as Depp's assistant. Highly recommended...

1/5 ALL of this edition DEFECTIVE!
  by Edward Oleksak (New Jersey USA)
Rotten or NO QUALITY CONTROL - 4 out of 4 sets that I've tried have defective menus - They are so messed up and unwatchable that in some cases the bonus material cannot be activated - Thus making this 2 disc edition utterly useless! The film portion on the first disc plays normally (its menus are also unwatchable.

5/5 Great work!

Johnny Depp never fails to amaze me. He is one of the bravest actors out there and will take on any role offering a challenge. This movie is great and if you check old photos of the crime scenes and the details, you'll find they did an amazing job sticking to the facts. If you're into Jack the Ripper stuff, this is a must see!
