VHS Movie Reviews of Biography - Jack the Ripper [VHS]
Movie Review: Spooky
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great documentary! The Rippers real story is, in my opinion, MUCH more interesting than the myths. You can see clearly in here that there was absolutely NOTHING romantic, heroic, gallant, or sexy about this case whatsoever, as too many people often perceive. But I digress. The reinactments are my favorite part; the discoveries of Polly Nichols(victim #1)and Elizabeth Stride(#3)are SO eerie, as is the attack of Catherine Eddowes(#4), and the readings of the Ripper letters(reading them in the dialects by candlelight are enough to make your hair stand on end.)The discriptions of the victims injuries is just what you need for some nice insomnia. This is just plain scary, and even more so when you know it really happened. If you love scary stories/movies, this is for you!Movie Review: One of the better Ripper documentaries I've seen
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well done documentary. It concentrates on the facts and gives one a good idea of the social background of the Victorian East End slums in which the Ripper operated. It also is fortunate to have Donald Rumbelow, martin Fido and Stewart Evans provided insight into the cases. The reenactments were also very well done. It does not lean towards a particular suspect as other more recent documentaries on cable TV have done, but lists particular suspects such as Tumblety, Cream, Chapman, etc who are not usually mentioned in previous documentaries.
Summary of Biography - Jack the Ripper [VHS]
" In the fall of 1888, five prostitutes were savagely murdered in the poor, Whitechapel area of London, England. The murderer was never found. This case has taunted ""unsolved crime"" lovers for 107 years! Jack the Ripper occupies a unique place in the history of crime, and the identity of the killer is still the subject of fantastic speculation. BIOGRAPHY introduces some of the most popular theories, and examines the evidence for and against them. FBI specialist John Douglas reveals how his agency would investigate the case today, and explores the steps taken by Scotland Yard. Graphic photos, seen here on video for the first time, reveal the shocking savagery of the crimes. Crime historians Martin Fido and Donald Rumblebow, who make their living as Ripper experts, offer their opinions on the mysterious identity of the killer. And a new suspect an American is introduced.Journey to the heart of a century-old mystery for a chilling look at the darkest aspect of humanity."General Video
