Ripper Untold

Unless there's some relevance hidden in extended and tedious opening titles, those same titles tend to give away what's to come.... This is a rather awkward, slow and decidedly predictable film, which seems to be a vanity project, and not much else.

The actors are almost as uncomfortable as the sets, which is probably what I spent most of my viewing-time being distracted by.

As for plot; the ending was telegraphed from the beginning, which could have been cleverly handled, but wasn't.

The music was devoid of atmosphere and felt like random, royalty-free downloads saved just before Limewire faded into obscurity.

The democratisation of filmmaking has simply produced more Ed Woods, and that's being generous.

It's very predictable with a little gore but not much suspense. Definitely not a horror, the film is more a drama / thriller genre. The actors are quite good and interesting and it's well made. The movie lacks action and the editing can be confusing. Not bad not great.

So personally I like this movie, I think it's really good I'm going back to rewatch it because I saw they put out a sequel and I personally like it. Yes acting me a bit bad at times but mostly the movie is really good visually stunning. Yes there is some 18+ content. I don't appreciate that, but besides that I thought the movie was really good.

Also, I do like British movies so that I can play a little bit into my review but mainly I personally like it but if you don't like murders horror or anything like that then I don't think you'll like it but if you like history about England and you like to know about the murders that happened, would definitely recommend it is somewhat real.

Script isn't great. Acting is passable. Sets are minimalistic. Predictable. Nothing spectacular but looked as there was some heart put into the project.

I have given this film 2 stars because it did at least make an attempt to provide an original answer to the question of who Jack the Ripper was, it was a slightly ridiculous and deeply unsatisfying answer but at least they tried. With more budget they could've paid for better sets, better actors/actresses, better script writers and better camera operators and mitigated these failings, that said the costumes were pretty good and the props weren't too bad either. Had more money had been spent on this film it could easily be a solid 5 out of 10. All in all not the worst low budget film I've seen but not a film I would choose to watch again.
