    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Some real photos from the Ripper victims are pinned to the walls in the police station sets. Albert Hughes and Allen Hughes placed them there to unnerve the cast, so they'd give an edgier performance.
    • Goofs
      (at around 30 mins) In 1888, a bottle of laudanum would not have been labeled as poison, as it was a popular, socially acceptable, and inexpensive painkiller and sedative at the time.
    • Quotes

      Sir William Gull: One day men will look back and say that I gave birth to the twentieth century.

      Abberline: You're not going to see the twentieth century.

    • Crazy credits
      Thanks to the Megerdichian family
    • Alternate versions
      Three endings were filmed: one where Abberline dies of a drug overdose in London, one where he travels to the Far East and dies of an overdose in an Opium Den and one where he sneaks off to be with Mary.

    Nice visuals, mediocre plot.
    This is a nicely shot film. Many scenes featured very little depth of field. The directors played with focus almost constantly, and had some nice imagery.

    The acting was good. I wasn't blown away, but it wasn't great either. Heather Graham's American accent slipped through only once noticeably.

    The movie was mainly plot driven. Character development was kept to a minimum. The plot was only decent, so that barely kept interest in the movie. It's a nice film to see in a theater for the camera work and visuals, but I wouldn't rent it. It is dark, which is nice to see in a movie shot today.
