The best Hammer horror film in years.
March 20, 2020 | Full Review… -
This latter-day offering from Hammer Films ratchets up the gore, but thankfully not at the expense of an engrossing plot that embeds its psychological content in a series of effective set-pieces.

Quite a strange, offbeat way to go about the business of making a Jack the Ripper picture.

Part of the fascination lies in the variations on the familiar typology.

An overrated glossy Hammer gothic horror tale.

Anna's savage acts of violence are provoked by a flash of light and a kiss: Symbols of the most desirable of gifts -- enlightenment and affection -- that here become triggers for perversion.

Audience Reviews for Hands of the Ripper

Mar 01, 2012A more interesting movie than Hammer's typical output at this time this film still has plenty of gore but the use of Freud's theories to diagnose the killer and Porter's sympathetic but misguided doctor suggest that the writer was at least trying something a bit different. The ending in St Paul's is almost operatic and brings a grandiose to the proceedings that is missing from most Hammer of the 70's. There are still plenty of silly bits in there and one gratuitous nudity sequence but otherwise this isn't half bad horror.David S Super Reviewer

Apr 22, 2010Made during Hammer's descent into gore (but before their tits and gore last gasp days), "Hands of the Ripper" is a stylish, atmospheric and particularly well acted little horror film. Unlike, say, "To the Devil a Daughter" it actually feels like a Hammer film. Whatever its minor flaws may be are more than redeemed by the fantastic, moving climax. Eric Porter is fucking great.Eduardo C Super Reviewer

Feb 09, 2010Interesting twist on the tale...it concerns the daughter of Jack the Ripper(played by the lovely Miss Angharad Rees). She fears that she had inherited her father's murderous lusts & seeks the assistance of a helpful young psychiatrist. A worthy offering.mirabella 1 Super Reviewer
