I love Johnny Depp and Heather Graham but this one was pretty bad.

This was quite a disappointment considering the potential that this movie had. The reveal of Jack the Ripper's identity was forseeable halfway into the movie. Johnny Depp was good as usual and I also liked Heather Graham's performance. The movie's ending was great, especially the way Jack the Ripper was handled. I liked the visual style of the movie and the (good) production values, but the movie lacked a bit in the plot department and character development.

Looks STUNNING, but the script's a big mess. Nonetheless, it's probably worth watching for atmosphere alone.

Good performances, great style, and lots of blood mixed with bad pacing and a predictable plot.

I'm surprised about all the negative rewievs. I loved the film. It had a great atmosphere, was suspensful and interesting and Johnny Depp was awesome. A-

Re: From Hell Terrifically atmospheric with a great performance from Depp. That alone makes it watchable.

Re: From Hell Frustrating movie. I want it to be better than it is. Because it's AMAZING on a technical level--the atmosphere!--and Depp does a good job. But then there's always Heather Graham and the third act and other shortcomings.

Re: From Hell Haven't seen it since it first hit video. I might like it a little better now, but at the time I absolutely hated it and gave it an F.
