Overview
A series of murders occur that mirror those committed by the Whitechapel Ripper. Through his experiments with psychoanalysis Dr Pritchard discovers a deadly violence in one of his young female patients. As he delves into the recesses of her mind he uncovers that Anna is possessed by her dead father’s spirit, willing her to commit acts of gruesome savagery over which she has no control. But the most chilling revelation of all is the identity of her father: Jack the Ripper himself.

Viewing Notes
An interesting, if not entirely entertaining, take on Jack the Ripper, with some Freudian psychology, seances and mental illness thrown into the mix.
I was still fixing issues with the Movielogr update so I watched this upstairs. Too lazy to relocate to the home theater.
