When I first heard of Jack the Ripper I was fascinated and wanted to learn more. Naturally, viewing a film about him wa... read more

To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this movie and maybe I should re-watch it at some point. I remember quite well, when it was released, there was a big outcry because it was so different than the actual comic-book written by Alan Moore. Well, in my case, when I saw the damned thing, I didn’t read the damned thing yet (I would read it many years later) and maybe that’s why I t... read more

My Top 250 Favorite Horror Movies of All Time (250 movies items)

" It is well known within the comicbook community that famed writer Alan Moore does not approve of his films being made into films. And From Hell is a good example why. The four color printed form of this work has an intensity & deepness to it's mystery plot device that is impossible to capture within the limited timeframe of a movie. However, if one were to watch this film without having read the comicbook series first, it can come off as a satisfying mystery tale with a unique speculation to t"
