Review of Hands of the Ripper

The ratings here is a bit high for this movie, it's watchable but not much to get excited about. The first scene of the movie is best. Daughter of Jack the Ripper sees him kill her mother, and is of course scarred for life. As adult in this movie, she gets into a trance at certain times thinking about her father and kills people. That's about it. Doctor takes her in thinking he can cure her. What is really stupid (and ruins what is already not a very intriguing movie) is the doctor, knowing she kills without thought and seeing the results of her killing (sharp things stuck in people's faces and bodies), leaves her untied and basically unattended in his office, and he happens to have a sword easily accessible (how convenient). So what happens? While distracted she take sword, stabs him, and he later dies. Tied her down or perhaps her arms? Remove all sharp objects? Not in this movie. There are not twists or other plot devices to make this more exciting than I described.
