RIPPER: LETTER FROM HELL
One of my faves…
PLOT
The movie begins with a teenage girl running through the woods and trying to survive as a serial killer takes down her friends. It then jumps five years ahead where the same girl, Molly, is now studying forensic psychology at an unnamed college campus. Only her professor, Marshall Kane, and another student know who she is because she keeps her past a secret. Molly and five others are placed in the same study group, but when the students start dying, they notice that the murders fit the same pattern used by Jack the Ripper. They find themselves forced to work together before everyone ends up dead.
TRIVIA
The original cut of Ripper Letter from Hell received an NC-17 rating in the U.S. The director cut some of the death scenes to get an R rating.
Actors Emmanuel Vaugier (Saw 2) and Kelly Brook both appeared on “Smallville” as the love interest for Lex Luthor in different seasons.
THOUGHTS
Though it may seem odd, Ripper Letter from Hell is actually one of my all-time favorite horror movies and has been since I saw it when it was first released on DVD. I saw it once and bought it a few weeks later. There’s something about this movie that I really like and it might be the storyline. Plus I’d love to attend classes at their school! I’m surprised that the producers made a sequel to it, just because it doesn’t seem that well known. I know a lot of horror movie fans who have never seen the movie before. If you haven’t seen this one, I highly recommend it.
