Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Lee Eisenberg Typical slasher movie about a copycat killer, with young people doing things that they shouldn't and getting butchered. I could pretty much predict everything that was going to happen. You'd think that something focusing on Jack the Ripper might be a little more interesting, but "Ripper" doesn't cut it. The most befuddling thing is that Jurgen Prochnow stars in this. He played the submarine captain in "Das Boot" and the terrorist leader in "Air Force One", so what's he doing here? If you want to see a good movie dealing with Jack the Ripper, the choices are: "The Ruling Class" (Peter O'Toole's character ends up believing himself to be Jack the Ripper); "Time After Time" (H.G. Wells chases Jack the Ripper into 1970s San Francisco); and "From Hell" (Johnny Depp plays a detective investigating the murders in 1880s London). And of course some people might include "Dr. Strangelove" (Sterling Hayden plays Gen. Jack Ripper).All in all, you'll do best to avoid this one.

agentsteel-1 IF ANYONE KNOWS, WHO THE KILLER WAS, THEY ARE BETTER THAN ME, I THOUGHT THE PROFESSOR? As 'Teacher' was spelt out, from the last letters of th victims names, but them i thought the blonde girl, as she was on the boat, when some1 fell in the water; but maybe it was Molly all along??? I enjoyed the Film, but seems most didn't!!! So, anyone who can help, with the identity please let me know. I think, i may have to watch it a few times and spot things, i missed first time around. Maybe more gore and violence would of made it better and more sexy scenes, naked girls perhaps? Alex is HOT HOT HOT!!! Anyway let me, know, who you thought, was the KILLER.

Coventry This is one of the worst things you can encounter on the lowest horror-shelves of your local video store; a pretentious teen-slasher! "Ripper" basically is just another routine and mediocre stalk 'n slash film, but it stupidly also pretends to be a deeply intellectual and psychological thriller investigating the sickening motives that drive serial killers. In theory this means "Ripper" is a film that constantly features college students bragging about their knowledge concerning the modus operandi and trademarks of notorious killers – Jack the Ripper in particular – but when they eventually face one themselves, they make exactly all the same mistakes victims usually make in low-brain horror films. Every member in class perfectly knows Jack the Ripper picked up prostitutes or that Ted Bundy aimed at lonely and insecure girls, yet even then they still have random sex with a total stranger at a party and continue to separate themselves from the group even though several of their friends already turned up dead. Are we really supposed to believe these characters are any smarter than the usual ones in post-Scream slashers just because they read a few books about profiling techniques? On the bright side, however, "Ripper" certainly isn't a total waste of time. The opening sequences and the finale are pleasingly exciting, there's a relatively fair amount of gore and the cast contains a handful of familiar faces, like Jürgen Prochnow ("The Keep") and Bruce Payne ("Passenger 57"). The latter stars as a prominent FBI-profiler slash university professor, teaching his class to 'expect the unexpected' when faced with an actual serial killer. They can soon enough put this theory into practice when an actual Jack the Ripper copycat shows up on campus. He/she seems to follow around the class' outsider Molly, as she already survived a similar massacre party on an island a couple of years ago. Quite annoyingly, the characters are killed off in order of likableness and beauty. The most ravishing scream-queens, Kelly Brook, Emmanuelle Vaugier and Daniella Evangelista, are the first to die whereas the insufferable ones like the class-clown and the obnoxious French import actress hang around till the very end. Much more than on the revived popularity of slashers, "Ripper" attempts to cash in on the success of Hughes' brothers "From Hell". Even part of the title is borrowed.

shuia Girl-running-in-a-thunderstorm-with-killer-close-behind-girl-trips killer-gets-her kind of story. Lots of blood, no originality. One would expect more from a movie which promises serial psycho killers copying Jack the Ripper. No real motivation for the blood bath, least of all a psychological one. Except for the ending which at least creates a little bit of confusion, one could predict every scene at least 10 minutes before it unfolds. Everything in this movie has been done, redone and overdone. It's like watching Scary Movie and taking it seriously. It's been a real disappointment. Where are the calculated blood thirsty psycho killers? What happened to movies like Seven or Silence of the Lambs, with original plots and motifs? Because personally I'm tired of watching helpless blonds being butchered like cattle while instead of defending themselves they scream in agony and then always manage to trip and fall.
