Unless there's some relevance hidden in extended and tedious opening titles, those same titles tend to give away what's to come.... This is a rather awkward, slow and decidedly predictable film, which seems to be a vanity project, and not much else.

The actors are almost as uncomfortable as the sets, which is probably what I spent most of my viewing-time being distracted by.

As for plot; the ending was telegraphed from the beginning, which could have been cleverly handled, but wasn't.

The music was devoid of atmosphere and felt like random, royalty-free downloads saved just before Limewire faded into obscurity.

The democratisation of filmmaking has simply produced more Ed Woods, and that's being generous.

You got to applaud the effort here... but at the end of day this isn't a good movie. Lots of close up shots of banisters and people walking up and down stairs. To make up for the poor script they fill voids with really unconvincing music... which doesn't build any suspense or tension. A decent shot of a bird with her wazzers out... so fair play on that one. It was actually a decent twist at the end... and like i said it's a decent effort on small budget.

It's very predictable with a little gore but not much suspense. Definitely not a horror, the film is more a drama / thriller genre. The actors are quite good and interesting and it's well made. The movie lacks action and the editing can be confusing. Not bad not great.

I have given this film 2 stars because it did at least make an attempt to provide an original answer to the question of who Jack the Ripper was, it was a slightly ridiculous and deeply unsatisfying answer but at least they tried. With more budget they could've paid for better sets, better actors/actresses, better script writers and better camera operators and mitigated these failings, that said the costumes were pretty good and the props weren't too bad either. Had more money had been spent on this film it could easily be a solid 5 out of 10. All in all not the worst low budget film I've seen but not a film I would choose to watch again.

This movie reminded me of reused cutscenes from some old FMV detective video game edited together and played at half the normal speed.

The acting is on the level of an Amateur Dramatics production of Ripper Street. So all in all I wish they left this story untold.

Script isn't great. Acting is passable. Sets are minimalistic. Predictable. Nothing spectacular but looked as there was some heart put into the project.

So personally I like this movie, I think it's really good I'm going back to rewatch it because I saw they put out a sequel and I personally like it. Yes acting me a bit bad at times but mostly the movie is really good visually stunning. Yes there is some 18+ content. I don't appreciate that, but besides that I thought the movie was really good.

Also, I do like British movies so that I can play a little bit into my review but mainly I personally like it but if you don't like murders horror or anything like that then I don't think you'll like it but if you like history about England and you like to know about the murders that happened, would definitely recommend it is somewhat real.

None of these armchair reviewers I'm reading here know the difference between a low budget film and a truly bad film. This film is not bad. It's competently shot and acted, if not a little talky. Considering the limitations this is not a badly crafted film at all. It's just done on a shoestring budget, and for what you actually did it's not bad for the money.

I actually thought this was good, perhaps some of the scenes dragged a bit and could have been shortened, but I thought the acting was believable with some real talent in there. I loved the settings and costumes and the director has done a great job on what was probably a tiny budget. Ignore the haters, it's hard enough to make a film without negative people slating it unfairly. If you're expecting Hollywood you might be disappointed but otherwise watch it and make up your own mind.

Ripper untold is definitely a great engaging investigating thriller ....the film starts of really well with investigation happening which kept me hooked ....all actors were brilliant in there roles ...ripper scenes are hardly there ,that is the biggest negative which I thought could have worked on that ...the investigation is really good and engaging ....but climax is a big let down when suspense is revealed and to some extent it's predictable too .... nevertheless it's a good watch ....I don't know about negative reviews but I personally loved the way script is written especially the investigation part ...had there been few slasher scenes this could have been a great film.....the atmosphere created in the start is very good which is there throught till the end but the suspense element disappoints ....

I honestly can't believe why this film was made and can't believe I paid to watch it. A handful of actors, actresses and sets. Everything about it is poor.

I find the subject matter interesting and have seen some great dramatisations & enjoyed documentaries on the subject in the past, but this was dreadful. Poor script, average acting, cheaply made (you could tell by the (lack of) camera angles, poor cinematography and repeated scenes / sets) with very little to recommend it. An hour and a half of my life I will never get back.

I am a lover of the legend of Jack the Ripper and have been on a walking tour of Whitechapel. This film gets the name of inspector Reed and refers to him as Rees. The victims are given the wrong names and the night of the two murders goes unmentioned. This is a work of fiction and that is why I believe that it is untold. I gave it one star as I could not give it zero. Avoid this film.

It was like watching amateur dramatics at your local community centre...the acting was atrocious, at times I was half expecting canned laughter to be added...😟

So here's the problem, I've seen quite a few Ripper movies and TV shows over the years but nothing as atrocious as this steaming pile. Featuring a cast of nobody's and a story So lame and devoid of any atmosphere you have to ask how this ever got made. As for their take on who the Ripper was and the big reveal at the end ( if you didn't see it in the first 15 minutes you really weren't trying), it belongs in a carry on movie. This is a pig with lipstick and an hour and a half of my life I can never get back, be afraid, no honestly, be very afraid.

This is probably the worst movie about Jack the Ripper I have ever seen what a waist of $10. Can I get a refund? I have seen YouTube movies with a bigger Budget. It's really a slap in the face to the inspectors who worked the case.

Many movies, series, blogs, podcasts and documentaries have told the gruesome story of Jack The Ripper.

This is yet a new story, and I have to say I liked it.

Acting is good, costumes and scenery are very well done. Nothing looks out of place or cheap. I could find only one error, and that was a woman wearing a laced blouse, made to look like silk, but it was thin polyester.

Hence, nothing serious.

The story is told, as we all know it, with emphasis laid on the inspector and the pathologist.

Their small get together in the formers office, while discussing the case, was believeable and a nice touch.

The handfull of side characters that are, are interesting and one care about what happens to them

The solution is obvious, and so is the way of which one certain evidence is disposed of, but that did not minimise my enjoyment.

This is probably the most boring ripper film in the history of cinema. I'm not going to start with all the bad points as it's too painful to think about. Avoid at all cost.it's shockingly poor.

I loved this film. A very good piece of writing on a subject that really interests me so I just had to watch this one for curiosity. As the title suggests it tells the untold story which was really intriguing and kept me glued to the screen. The costumes were realistic and the atmosphere was spot on. I didn't know any of the actors yet they were all good I particularly liked the coroner. If you're looking for a little bit of blood and gore and some very stomach churning autopsies then you will be disappointed but there is a little of that it's more of the untold story that's the beauty of the film. Will watch again and again.

This seems like a low budget independent film. In my experience these kind of movies are often spoiled by a bad script and/ or acting. Not so in this case. I really enjoyed it with really good acting and script with a nice twist. If this had been done with a big budget it could have been a blockbuster.

There's heart in it, I think they made the effort but it's very hard to give it a better review since it become predictable very early and acting is kind of meehh.

This seems like a reasonable amount of money spent on a film with no reasonable value achieved. I highly resent that I need to waste the time and 600 characters to explain why a selection is unworthy of my time or yours. There were shots in this wreck with scenes depicting a mortician massaging supermarket organs in an attempt to be shocking or gory, I guess. It was shortly after that I decided to abort this mission. I am a complete horror devotee. As such, I am quite willing to bear an enormous amount of schlock for a decent amount of good bits. Unfortunately, there was a complete lack of good bits here, friends.
