Editorial Reviews

There was a time when just the whisper of the name Jack the Ripper struck terror into the hearts of the brave. It was autumn, the fall of 1888, and an evil monster, responsible for committing a series of gruesome murders, was stalking the streets of London. The crimes have never been solved to this day and the story of Jack the Ripper is still the stuff of nightmares.

Conspiracy theories abound and suspects literally range from British Royalty to the lowest of the low, from native East Enders born within the sound of Bow Bells to an American "Quack" Doctor who regularly visited the streets of White Chappel. There is not a soul worldwide who can resist the challenge of unmasking Jack the Ripper. This program has been presented in such a way as to help both learned experts and amateur sleuths alike to do just that!

The facts are placed before you and the conspiracies that have emerged are all considered on their various merits. Visit for yourself the murder sites and make your own judgements on the evidence available, study the archives and police records and meet the women who fell victim to Jack the Ripper’s vicious blade. The atmosphere of Victorian London is terrifyingly realistic, so be prepared, this is a journey of discovery that will chill you to the very marrow, and you will never be able to forget Jack the Ripper and his evil deeds for as long as you live

2.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre documentary..., August 26, 2006
This review is from: Jack the Ripper (DVD)
...made even more insufferable by poor narration. Why they couldn't narrate this documentary in a faster, clearer tone is beyond me. The slow grating OTT narration belongs in a hammy horror film not in a serious documentary.

If you can get beyond this and the cheap cliché re-shoots of Jack walking the cobblestone streets with a gladstone bag then the contemporary shots of the crime scenes are fascinating to those who have not been to Whitechapel and wish to see how things have changed (and see how things haven't changed) since the days of 1888.

There are better documentaries out there on the Jack the Ripper subject - in particular the History one.

4.0 out of 5 stars INTERESTING FOR THE NOVICE, January 20, 2006
This review is from: Jack the Ripper (DVD)
I am not a ripperologist so I found this interesting and informative. The narators voice at first seemed grating but by the end was fine. The presentation is not slick but is good enough.

I purchased this at less than five. At that price it is worth it if you just want some initial background material.
