All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Hands of the Ripper (1971)

Starring: Angharad Rees, Eric Porter
Director: Peter Sasdy

Premise:
The infant daughter of Jack the Ripper watches as he slays her mother. Years later she seems to be possessed by his spirit as she goes into trances which leads to murder.

My Take:
I found this movie to be a bit supbar with hokey premise and ending. Oh no, she's tramatized and not sure why she's killing people. And the doctor wants to help her to prove his theory. Blah, blah. The whole thing just wasn't very interesting.

Rating: Warning
