I'm not exactly sure what I didn't like about this movie, but it remains one of the only movies that Klaus Kinski did that I don't really care for. Perhaps it was the fact that right from the start we know who the Ripper is in this film, which definitely brings down the suspense level to the point of just waiting to see how the victims get massacred. Perhaps it's the somewhat failed attempt to invoke both a "Jekyll & Hyde" and a "Burke & Hare" feeling to the Ripper's legend.
Asides that, the cinematography was excellent on the film. There is a lot of atmosphere to the movie, but again that's where a minor problem lies...it is obviously a European or Continental atmosphere, not a Whitechapel one, which would have better served a movie called "Jack the Ripper".
