Ripper Untold

source: Ripper Untold

I find the subject matter interesting and have seen some great dramatisations & enjoyed documentaries on the subject in the past, but this was dreadful. Poor script, average acting, cheaply made (you could tell by the (lack of) camera angles, poor cinematography and repeated scenes / sets) with very little to recommend it. An hour and a half of my life I will never get back.

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.

This seems like a low budget independent film. In my experience these kind of movies are often spoiled by a bad script and/ or acting. Not so in this case. I really enjoyed it with really good acting and script with a nice twist. If this had been done with a big budget it could have been a blockbuster.

I actually thought this was good, perhaps some of the scenes dragged a bit and could have been shortened, but I thought the acting was believable with some real talent in there. I loved the settings and costumes and the director has done a great job on what was probably a tiny budget. Ignore the haters, it's hard enough to make a film without negative people slating it unfairly. If you're expecting Hollywood you might be disappointed but otherwise watch it and make up your own mind.

Kind of slow and plodding but still engaging to watch. Another twist on the Jack the Ripper serial killings...

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

Absolutely terrible, rasist, "was he foreign or Chinese"? Who wrote this as Peter Sutcliffe should see you.... Dialogue in London slang until someone Say 6 "bang on".... Yeah turned it at that point.

I honestly can't believe why this film was made and can't believe I paid to watch it. A handful of actors, actresses and sets. Everything about it is poor.

The film had a twist on the usual Ripper movies, it was a little slow and generally predictable. But I enjoyed it.
