From Hell | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

Derek Elley Variety Anyone expecting the combo of Allen and Albert Hughes and the famed Victorian serial-killer to result in a gritty, stygian, skin-crawling horror movie will be severely disappointed Jul 29, 2008 Full Review Lisa Alspector Chicago Reader This wry, atmospheric procedural spawned by a real mystery would be thorny enough without also being an adaptation. Apr 18, 2007 Full Review Kim Newman Empire Magazine A rare, clever, horror film. Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...a terrific, literate and genuinely scary thriller to savour... Rated: 4/5 Mar 5, 2021 Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site That the poor are simply portrayed as being feasted upon by the rich, indicates a disorientation and tells us something about the ideological difficulties of our own time. Mar 5, 2021 Full Review Scott B. IGN Movies It's just not a very good movie. Rated: 2.5/10 Oct 18, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Rosana B Um filme triste e realista e tão dolorido, quão humilhante e subjugada era a vida das prostitutas naquela época (ainda o é), principalmente em decorrência da escassez de medidas higiênicas eficazes e segurança… Um filme brilhante (pena terem excluídos cenas valiosamente sanguinárias) baseado no livro que implica um membro da família real como suspeito de ser Jack, o estuprador (que nunca foi identificado) e tornou se uma lenda mundial de terror e monstruosidade… Excelente terror suspense... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Jerod S Definitely not a scary version of the Ripper - and should have been a winning mix of directing, visuals and acting. But none of it landed. Grapes and Jon Merrick. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Julian S It’s so divorced from any real history that it’s impossible to take it seriously. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Garrett B One of the most tasteless films based on real events. It truly amazes me how this movie got nearly everything wrong about what really happened with the unsolved murders of Jack the Ripper. Despite the great ensemble cast, practical effects, and gritty setting, this movie is just straight up insulting to not only the poor unfortunate victims of Jack the Ripper, but even to the authorities who were involved in the case and did everything they could to catch this monster. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Regina P I had no idea this film even existed. All of the non-blockbusters really do fly under the radar. It felt "Hollywood". It was polished and well-acted, but I didn't feel anything. They were protagonists and antagonists and a plot. Shoulder shrug. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review delbroox Gripping. Great aesthetics, and an interesting interpretations of the facts. Great cast of actors. Overall a great adaptation of the graphic novel. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
