Ripper's Revenge

As a fan of all Jack the Ripper movies and tv shows ( RIPPER STREET and WHITECHAPEL the best), I watched Rippers Revenge. Well it's not terrible. The majority of film takes place in Maggie's room. She shares it with Sebastian the newspaper reporter who want to be famous. She pays the bills as each " evening she goes out to work". Sebastian decides he will create another Jack the Ripper frenzy here in London. He plants letters at newspaper. And a murder happens. At newspaper is another writer named Lenny. Sebastian brags that Jack is back. Lenny asks how he knows? Then another murder. And another. But Sebastian swears it wasn't him. Who was it? The Real Jack? It's not a bad film. Very slow paced though. I was mesmerized by Sebastian . He really hates his life!

Once again Chris Bell knocks it out the park with his portrayal of Stubbs in this sequel of the Ripper tales!

Along side Rachel Warren the pair really drag you in to the plot as it twists and turns toward the final conclusion!!

Chris has many titles to his name and they just keep getting better. If you are a fan of Jack the Ripper stories then this one's for you!

Chris really pulls you in and brilliantly helps you create a love/hate relationship with his character! As always he is made for the loveable rogue portrayal.

Rachel plays the perfect partner in crime with her wicked streak portrayed perfectly as Iris which paired perfectly along side Chris they keep you guessing till the end.

Despite the link to the real-life Jack the Ripper case, the film Ripper's Revenge failed to deliver a captivating storyline. Writer/Director Steve Lawson's fictitious take on the infamous serial killer lacked originality and seemed to rely too heavily on the Ripper's reputation to keep the audience interested. Even with the casting of Rachel Warren as Iris, the lady of the night and Stubb's girlfriend, the film failed to add any depth to her character or the plot. The lack of character development made it difficult to sympathize with the characters and their struggles. The plot twists were boring and predictable, making the overall storyline unexciting. There were no special effects worth mentioning. In conclusion, Ripper's Revenge was a disappointing film that failed to live up to its potential as a sequel to Ripper Untold (2021). It lacked the necessary components to make it an exciting and memorable film. Waste of time.

As a massive Jack the Ripper fan I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this. Wasn't trying to be something it can't by doing rubbish killings. The cast were brilliant and I preferred this to some of the other Ripper films in recent years.

One year on from the notorious "Jack The Ripper" murders, the killings have stopped, but the identity of the killer remains a mystery. Down-at-heel newspaper reporter Sebastian Stubb has moved on to reporting on other scandals, but when a new "Ripper" letter appears on his desk and the killings start again, he unwittingly finds himself at the center of a new mystery. Has the "Ripper" returned, or is it a copycat killer? Or something else entirely?

There is good acting in this and also the pacing is decent. The story is okayish, it's a jack the ripper is back murder mystery, or is he? Main character is a news reporter figuring things out.

It's obviously low budget with most of it happening in 3-4 locations, it could work as a stage play. It's dialogue heavy. Even though it's lower budget the makeup, costumes and locations all look decent. No low budget mishaps, lighting, camera work etc. Are all good.

There's a couple of dead women in rather gruesome fashion but I didn't find it too extreme, there is also some bare breasted lady. Minimal actual violence the dead bodies are just laying with blood on them.
