From Hell. 2001.
A clairvoyant police detective tries to solve the murders committed by Jack The Ripper.
Another film based on the 1888 killings by Jack The Ripper and this seems to be a darker tale on the murders with Johnny Depp as Inspector Aberline who seems to have a somewhat drug problem and able to see the killings happen yet not the appearance of the killer.
Robbie Coltrane stars alongside as Aberline's partner Godley who has a different approach to the killings and somewhat serious persona with the young constables. Heather Graham stars as Mary Kelly who was alleged to be a victim of the ripper yet somehow has survived in this or her survival is just a hallucination by Aberline. Ian Holm stars as the retired Doctor now consultant to the police on the killings and shows his true aspect of his acting.
What made this more interesting is that they show John Merrick (The Elephant Man) on display for medical sponsors to help find a treatment for his affliction and the so called corruption of the royal family that could have brought disgrace to the heir of the throne, yet most of it was based on a work of fiction and still enjoyable to watch.
