From Hell reimagines the Jack the Ripper murders through the eyes of Inspector Frederick Abberline, a troubled detective using opium-fuelled visions to hunt one of history’s most infamous killers. Based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, the film blends horror, mystery and gothic conspiracy into a dark Victorian thriller.
From Hell is grim, atmospheric and wonderfully fog-drenched. Johnny Depp gives Abberline a strange haunted quality, while the film leans heavily into gothic horror over strict historical accuracy. Alan Moore famously hated the adaptation, which is almost a genre tradition at this point, but as a standalone film it works well. It is stylish, eerie and perfect late-night viewing for anyone who likes their comic adaptations with less spandex and more murder.
