by 1971 it be become more and more obvious that hammer film studio be on the way out . hand of the ripper be a case in point where even the idea smack of desperation the spirit of jack the ripper posses his own daughter . yeah okay no one be expect a documentary but this plot seem to be scrap the bottom of the barrel for stupid premise and you do find yourself question why on earth the producer bring jack the ripper into the story . be this to give the movie a snappy title . the production value be unimpressive and the cinematography give the whole movie a cheap tvm feel but you know youre not go to be watch a classic hammer horror as soon a the title start because the music be laughably inappropriate . i think the composer be try to make the theme tune haunting and touch but the music resemble something out of a soppy romantic movie . i will give the cast some credit a they do take their role seriously in what a far from serious movie i do not enjoy this film much and it instantly remind me of the phantom raspberry blower of london town from the two ronnies which i would be laugh at in the week before i saw this .
