It translates novelist Peter Ackroyd's densely historical and cerebral foray into the horror genre into an entertainment, without being weighed down by Ackroyd's numerous fascinating but imaginative layers and tangents. Oct 13, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A Victorian-era gothic stew that, although perhaps not as ultimately satisfying as it might have been, nevertheless provides for an unsettling two hours. Sep 8, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Marrying fact and fiction, Jane Goldman's seamy screenplay is wildly overstuffed; but the director, Juan Carlos Medina, gives the music hall scenes a rowdy authenticity. Sep 7, 2017 | Full Review…

The murders are gruesome and artful and production design is top-notch, but we'd trade some of it in a heartbeat for a little less "golem" and a little more living, breathing soul in the script. Apr 16, 2019 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

Riotous and gory fun, with some truly pantomime performances thrown in for good measure. It's just a pity that the story itself isn't quite as clever as it would have you first believe. Feb 27, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

A Victorian thriller with rather heavy echoes of Jack the Ripper, this film struggles to rise above the murky atmosphere it weaves. And the plot itself is as dense as the low-lying London fog. Dec 17, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

The feminist critique is present in the dialogue and narrative structure, but it hardly feels integrated into the performances or the images. For all that Medina does with it, The Limehouse Golem might just as well have stayed on the page. Nov 10, 2017 | Full Review…

The major problem lies with the story's all-too playful tone which diminishes the story's impact and the film's overall lack of originality. Nov 8, 2017 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
