“Ripper’s Revenge” (* out of four) was a real snooze about yet another revisiting of the notorious murders of Jack The Ripper in 1889 London in which his reign of terror seemed to suddenly stop until a hard-nosed newspaper reporter (Chris Bell) began receiving clues and information that Mr. Jack was still on the prowl and he then determined to bring him down before he murdered any other helpless women. Both inept and inert; after “Jack’s Back”, “From Hell”, and God knows how many other movies over the years- maybe it’s time to really let this killer rust in peace. Film moves so slowly that by the end you yourself may feel as if your throat (and your patience) have been ripped.
