Ripper Untold is writer/director Steve Lawson’s fourth consecutive film with a historical setting after Bram Stoker’s Van Helsing, Saltwater: The Battle for Ramree Island and The Haunting of Alcatraz. And like them, it was filmed on a very limited budget. Can Lawson manage to make it work this time and not end up with another boring talkfest?
Whitechapel 1888. The body of a young woman is found, her throat slashed and body mutilated. Inspector Rees (Phil Molloy; Outlawed) goes to work trying to track down the killer. He’s aided by the coroner, Thomas Locque, a man who’s battling his own demons. And who seems to have known the victim, and several of her fellow working girls.
