“Ripper” (* out of four) was a bottom-of-the-barrel horror mess set in London 1888 around the time Jack the Ripper was gripping the country; numerous local citizens and terrible actors come together to combat the situation and find Jack but find he’s one tough psychopath to crack. Insulting and incoherent look at a historical story makes previous Jack movies “Jack’s Back” and “From Hell” look like HItchcock by comparison. Over a hundred years later, perhaps it’s time to let Jack rest in peace and put these umpteenth rip-offs to bed.
