funny thing. Why is it so very prominent? I've wondered this for years. As many can probably tell (if you view my ratings list), I've seen my share of horrid films. Horror films are meant to frighten and intrigue us. Ripper: Letter from Hell does neither for the majority of its overlong 113-minute runtime. I was involved for the first half hour. Very involved. The film, from that point on, delved into the ridiculous, the gratuitously disgusting and the incomprehensible. Bleh. *1/2 (out of ****) D+
