HumanoidOfFlesh Tom Savini plays an immortal Jack the Ripper who starts stalking and butchering young women in Oklahoma.The main suspect is Professor Richard Harwell,who is teaching his students about Famous Crimes on Film and Whitechapel Murders to be precise.There is also the ring which once belonged to Jack the Ripper himself."The Ripper" by Christopher Lewis is an utter tripe.Tom Savini does not appear on screen until the final five minutes.Still the killings are gory and sadistic as they include juicy throat slashings and graphic disembowellings.The cast is pretty awful and there is no suspense.Still I will give "The Ripper" 6 out of 10 because of its sadistic streak.

star83 The only credit that this movie will ever earn from me is with the fact that it is the worst movie that I have ever seen in my life. It is an ABOMINATION! Before I saw this movie, I was afraid of Jack the Ripper-I was younger; This movie did not succeed in what I thought it would-SCARE ME! It was the WORST!-I can't say that enough! "The Ripper" sounds scary, but it's not. This movie looked like it was filmed on someone's home video equipment. The acting and plot were horrible, I MEAN HORRIBLE. I fell asleep on it during the first twenty minutes, and then, I turned it off before I saw the end. I had no interest in finishing this movie. It was inconsistent, vile, and just dumb! It is a waste of money, and time. This movie, along with "Troll:2" make it into the most horrifically awful movies ever made hall of fame, in my book. I don't think anyone can disagree.

wbhickok Tom Savini as Jack the Ripper! Right on!! I really enjoy this movie, but it suffers drastically from being shot on video. Too bad, a bit of a larger budget, a few re-writes, and it could have been released theatrically. This movie has some of the goriest scenes I have ever seen, and I like gory films. The dialouge is a bit amaturish, and it does have the air of a student film, but with Mr. Savini's special effects, they more than compensate. So to cut it to the quick: If ya like Savini, watch.

Michael Pilkington A college professor stumbles across a ring that belongs to Jack the Ripper and goes on a murderous rampage. This gory garbage plays like a cheap early 80s music video. How did special effects genius Tom Savini end up in this loser? Avoid this crap at all costs. My evaluation: (no stars).
