From_Hell

From Hell Movie Review of “From Hell” Jack the Ripper is back with an African American twist. The Hughes Brothers new film, “From Hell” debuted on October 19, 2001. The movie is based on the legend of Jack The Ripper, and it features stars such as Johnny Depp as Inspector Fred Abberline, Heather Grahm as Mary Kelly and Ian Holmes as Sir William Gull. The twist is that Albert and Allen Hughes (Dead Presidents, Menace II Society) wanted to give more “life” to the victims. The Hughes Brothers said, “ They weren’t just casualties. They were human beings.” As far as the movie goes, I think that the viewers find themselves more engulfed into sets costumes and killing scene gore of the movie, rather than the storyline, which is a good thing. The main locations of the movie include several historic castles in Prague. The sets were created by Academy Award winner Martin Childs (“Shakespeare in Love”). The costumes were likewise elaborate and very true to Victorian England style. Over 400 costumes were required and they were created by Kym Barrett, ( “The Matrix,” “ Shakespeare’s , Romeo and Juliet”).
