Well I'll be the first one then. I accidentally taped this movie last night. The listings made a mistake, but I don't mind because I enjoyed watching this film. Recently, I've been watching more old movies. This movie drew me in right away. I thought the story was good and the atmosphere was perfect. It's another take on the Jack the Ripper story and it's rather interesting. I enjoyed this movie an recommend it. Try to watch if you catch it on AMC.

Tomorrow's just your future yesterday!

Ditto here, but I think my DVR cut off the ending. How did it end?

Hey *beep* We like to call it inter-species erotica. Clerks II

***SPOILERS***





















Slade attends one of Lily's performances and becomes quite agitated by all the skin on stage. He goes to her dressing room after the show and throws himself at her in his psychopathic way ("I NEED you, Lily!" and so forth). She rejects him and so he tries to kill her (we all have our own ways of dealing with disappointment), but he cannot make himself do it. By now an angry mob--sans pitchforks and torches, sadly--has formed outside of the dressing room door (remember that picture of his mother he showed Lily? Insp. Warwick discovered that it was actually a picture of his first murder victim), so he effects his escape through the window. A boring carriage chase ensues, at the end of which Slade winds up in the river where he presumably drowns. The End.

Oh ok, I guess I saw it all then. Mine cut off after the inspector came out of the water. I just wanted to make sure I didn't misss anything else.

The ending of this film was just a little too much like Lon Chaney's Phantom of the Opera for my liking. I was expecting Palance to threaten the mob with imaginary weapon in his hand. Aunt Bee in London seemed out of place. Also, how much more oblivious could the female lead be?

i got this on a double dvd that had jack palance's name on the cover, i thought perhaps he only starred in one of them and was afraid that wasn't the case with this, but even main role as the credits opening, i had gotten a jack palance double dvd box before (silver screen collection) with awful picture and sound quality, but this was fine, so i'm guessing the other is too which i haven't watched, but there's just one long track for each movie and no scene jumps. i found it was a treat and thought it looked like an old tv movie so you get a nice little story to follow without blood and violence, palance portrays the part with such complex and intensity that you really get engaged in this person. notice when they were gonna break down the door, there seem to reveal it was already open, also, street setting looked to small for so many people in it. when the person went down the water it reminded of an old monster movie.



at the hospital bed,
no one knows me here,
i'm like a ghost in the hall they can't hear my words,
and i need my good nurse,
to help me find back to my kin folks,
getting lost through the halls,
talking to by gone people from before,
my buddy arrived in the blue sky on an airplane,
jumped in the ocean by the shore swam to this place,
lead me to the room of my kinfolks,
and from this chilly hospital we got to go.
