I registered on IMDb just to warn people not to waste even a minute of their lives on this film. It is simply the perfect storm of bad writing, bad dialogue, bad acting, and the most predictable storyline ever. I am a fan of even some really bad horror, as there are usually some worthwhile traits, but Ripper took all semblance of a coherent story and threw it out the window. There's bad acting that is so deliberately bad that it's amusing, and then there's the compilation of actors in this film that one can tell are actually making an attempt, but failing miserably. Considering their subsequent large body of work, the 4th grade level acting can likely be blamed on the truly horrid dialogue they are forced to attempt to make sound decent.I would tell you to just fast-forward to the kill-scenes, but most of them are not worth the effort (was that apple-red paint used for blood?) Once the music video of the girl running through the city hit the screen, I couldn't take it any more, but forced myself to endure this drivel just to verify the "twist" ending that I had predicted within the first 5 minutes. The best use of this film is as the low-bar by which to gauge all future movies. Forget stars, my scale for horror movies is now a rating system going from Ripper to Evil Dead.

Girl-running-in-a-thunderstorm-with-killer-close-behind-girl-trips killer-gets-her kind of story. Lots of blood, no originality. One would expect more from a movie which promises serial psycho killers copying Jack the Ripper. No real motivation for the blood bath, least of all a psychological one. Except for the ending which at least creates a little bit of confusion, one could predict every scene at least 10 minutes before it unfolds. Everything in this movie has been done, redone and overdone. It's like watching Scary Movie and taking it seriously. It's been a real disappointment. Where are the calculated blood thirsty psycho killers? What happened to movies like Seven or Silence of the Lambs, with original plots and motifs? Because personally I'm tired of watching helpless blonds being butchered like cattle while instead of defending themselves they scream in agony and then always manage to trip and fall.

This movie starts out with a bang that will leave you shaking in your seats. Then it decides to explain itself. While another Jack the Ripper wannabe ripoff doesn't sound that original, you soon realize that there is more to this movie than meets the eye. With it's share of gruesome death scenes and jumpy moments, you'll be plenty scared while trying to find out who the hell is killing all these pretty girls. With a thousand different theories as to who could of done this movie keeps you on the edge, and it manages to avoid the typical cop out ending. This movie will keep you guessing all the way back to the movie store. Just don't watch it at night.

this may have been a standered slasher flick, but what can i say i'm a sucker for horror flicks. i say if a horror movie is bloody, gory, and fun, its a good movie(especally the fun part), if the movie is scary its an added bonus, this movie isn't scary but its bloody, gory, and fun, plus i thought the acting was good with likable characters(except that french girl, i was waiting for her to die), and i like the plot they put in there, and this movie made me a fan of a.j. cook.(who is canadian, thank you) something that could have been fixed is the ending, i've seen it 3 times and i still don't get it. otherwise im recomending this movie so, go see itgood=7/10
