Every generation gets the Ripper who best fulfills its fantasies, and ours fatten on vast conspiracies.

Gruesome, predictable Jack the Ripper retelling.

Moore might not be merrier, but this is far from offal.

Cinema Crazed

The problem with this film is that Jack the Ripper takes a backseat to the dull and terrible romance between Depp's policeman character and Heather Graham's prostitute character.

See it for the stunning visuals and Depp's performance rather than a factual re-telling -- if you can stomach it.

Anyone expecting the combo of Allen and Albert Hughes and the famed Victorian serial-killer to result in a gritty, stygian, skin-crawling horror movie will be severely disappointed

Somehow, the movie taps into the book's uncanny implication that the very air is charged with malevolent ancient spirits...

Without a script on which to hang their vision, the brothers can only technically succeed. And, for better or worse, they do.

This is a film that should probably go back where it came from.

This wry, atmospheric procedural spawned by a real mystery would be thorny enough without also being an adaptation.

EmanuelLevy.Com

A disappointingly conventional thriller from the Hughes brothers (Menace II Society still their best film by far), neither chilling enough as a horror flick nor compelling as a character study; one of Johnny Depp's few mediocre performances

Jack the Ripper has proven a far more durable movie baddie than Freddy, Jason and Hannibal combined.

This movie is beautiful to look at, but has little substance. All Depp and no depth.

They want it to feel like one really bad dream ... and by the film's end we're too dizzy to think, to see if it all lines up.

What the Hughes Brothers have done in making a lavish period piece complete ...... is nothing less than a revolutionary achievement.

Some of the lines seem a bit over-the-top and the ending is improbable and schmaltzy, but it's a true Hollywood period film. Sit back and enjoy!

Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)

As From Hell sprints toward its climax, the tone grows more grim, the violence more explicit and the conspiracies more shrill.

RTE Interactive (Dublin, Ireland)

The Hughes Brothers and their cast have taken Alan Moore's graphic novel of the same name and made it into one of the better bloody shockers of recent years.
