After I´ve seen quiet a lot of the Hammer Studio´s output, I would say that Hands Of The Ripper is one of the best. You can discover nearly everything that made Hammer famous - well, except Christopher Lee and
Peter Cushing. Peter Sasdy filled this movie with a lot of dark London streets-atmosphere, a straight on plot that never gets boring, good actors - and at least: blood. I think that this film is one of the goriest being produced in the Hammer Studios and the brutal shock sequences truly surprised me. Of course the psychological background - even though Sigmund Freud is mentioned - is quiet primitive and a little stupid but who cares? At least, I feel well entertained after having watched this pic. 6 out of 10
