Product Description

Klaus Kinski stars as the Victorian serial killer and Andreas Mannkopff plays Inspector Selby, assigned to the case by Scotland Yard. However, when his investigation begins to struggle, Selby's girlfriend Cynthia (Josephine Chaplin) decides to help him out by posing as a prostitute. Unfortunately, her plans work out too well as she comes face-to-face with the Ripper himself.

Format: DVD
The immediate point to be made about this Jess Franco film is that it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Jack the Ripper of the Whitechapel murders - it just happens to be set in London at around the same time!
Jess Franco is a Spanish director best known for his scores of soft-porn movies, but who also indulges in some amateurish horror productions. His "Jack the Ripper" does contain some brief moments of nudity; it contains some even briefer moments of horror.
Shot in German - some of the subtitles are quite amusing - it is supposedly set in Victorian London. Someone is killing ladies of easy virtue - although there seems to be no sense of panic on the streets. One of the characters alludes to the murders taking place in Kensington & Chelsea - for those of you who don't know London, that's some distance away from where the real Ripper killings occurred ... some distance, physically and socially. In Franco's film, the streets of London also seem to resemble monastic cloisters or the vaults under a cathedral.
The streets are also pretty much deserted, inhabited by the same half dozen people who go round and round, apparently not noticing one another in the ever-present fog. Klaus Kinski plays a Jekyll & Hyde character - by day a saintly doctor, dedicated to helping the poor, by night a homicidal maniac, driven mad by an abusive mother, who sets about slaughter and sexual perversion. Somehow or other he enlists a woman, who appears to be employed in some botanical gardens, to dispose of the body parts, which she does by rowing up and down a river / canal (if it's supposed to be the Thames, then it's a rather secluded, tree-lined waterway).
The police, of course, have not a clue. Fortunately, one murder is witnessed - by an ageing, blind, alcoholic beggar.

I fall somewhere between the two other reviewers, like the chap whose given 5/5 it's entertaining in it's way. The dubbing is awful and therefore funny and most of it sounds like it's being read by bored people who have never been to London let know what a "cockney" accent should sound like. On the other hand it becomes difficult to watch after a while because it's so bad and so I landed up fast forwarding a bit (most of it to be truthful). There is some unpleasant nudity and some very bad "horror" with buckets of paint everywhere s it deserves it's certificate.
In the end this was on a DVD with two great Hammer films so I'm not complaining. But in the end the word "classic" can't be attached to this as with so many of the Hammer and Amicus films.

Buyer beware as they say! :)
