Way before Jason or Michael Sliced and Diced, this Gory Horror from Hammer's Late Period Set a Template and in a Lot of Ways other Films Noticed and Borrowed from Hammer.
Upping the Violent and Blood Quota for the New Decade of the Seventies, Hammer uses Little Restraint here and even includes Needle to the Eye Nastiness that "Dr. Frederic Wertham" in His Exploitative "Science" Book Attacking Comics, "Seduction of the Innocent" seemed to Find Great Pleasure in Presenting while at the same time Feigning Revoltion from the Depiction.
For the most part the Twist on "Jack the Ripper" Works Well, but some more Picky Fans might Find it a bit Repetitious. The Weakest Scenes in the Film is when a Medium or Psychic Channels minute Details about The Ripper's Daughter's Childhood. It Stretches to the Breaking Point even the Best "Sensitive" Abilities.
Overall, it is a Good Looking Film as usual for the always Visually Interesting Hammer Studios and is one of the most Violent in its Catalog.
The Beginning and Ending Scenes are quite Effective in Starting and Concluding this Lurid Tale of Psychological Mumbo-Jumbo and Victorian Hypocrisy.
