Deadly Visions.
Review of From Hell DVD by Elffriend

Advantages: An over-looked film. It has Johnny Depp in it.
Disadvantages: Poor reviews by critics.

...Inspector Fred Abberline (Johnny Depp) from an opium den to work on the case of the "Ripper". Abbeline has some physic ability, which he dampens or uses to solve crimes aided by the use of opium, laudanum and absinthe a fairly standard use of opiates in the 19th century. The year is 1888 and in the area of Whitechapel a killer is on the loose, a criminal whose name will strike fear into the hearts of every prostitute who works the area for a living. ...
...his character would have benefited from more exposure. Ian Holm almost stole the show although his character was a minor role, his performance as the villain of the piece was faultless. Heather Graham seemed to be out of her depth a lightweight amongst a star-studded cast. All the right ingredients were there, a superb storyline, great directing from Albert and Allan Hughes, a haunting soundtrack by Trevor Jones, so why did the film fail to live ... Read review

Jack the Ripper
Review of From Hell DVD by Ayesha-

Advantages: A thought-provoking, suspenseful thriller
Disadvantages: You'll only want to watch it once

...but with very little support from a society that treats prostitutes as having no value anyway, it is extremely hard to find answers. He finds himself taking drugs & relying more on psychic-style methods to find out what has been happening to the women & who is responsible. We, the viewers, however, grow to sympathise with the women as we see them for the human beings they are, simply trying to cope in a troublesome world. Often as they are being ...
...are people nearby, either ignorant of what is happening, because the women cannot scream, or unwilling to help. This adds to the frustration that somehow these women are treated as subordinate outcasts to society & suddenly this is a matter of life & death. The Acting I can’t think of a single scene or actor/actress that disappointed me. The point is that this film is based on suspense & passion, both of which featured well throughout. Mostly this ...

Advantages: Quite realistic, Depp's performance is flawless
Disadvantages: Well the historical correctness is not adhered to

...years. I bought this from my local rental shop when we first got a DVD player (shortly after we got married) as I wanted to see it but didn't want to spend a lot of money buying the DVD brand new. So buying an ex-rental disc seemed to be the best option. This single disc edition is currently selling on Amazon for around £4.97 but I would recommend that you shop around as it may be possible to buy it cheaper elsewhere. I found this whilst looking ...

Many thought that he was insane, given the savage manner in which he killed these women, but there was a precision to the killings that gave rise to the belief that the Ripper was not a madman, but in fact a highly educated man.

From Hell
Review of From Hell DVD by ejsj

Advantages: A very good thriller starring Johnny Depp
Disadvantages: None that i can think of

From Hell is a film based on the 5 murders of prostitutes in 1888 by Jack the Ripper, staring Johnny Depp and Heather Graham. The film is also based upon the novel written by Alan Moore. Johnny Depp plays inspector Frederick Abberline who thinks at his best when he has had a little too much opium, and Heather Graham plays the prostitute Mary Jane Kelly who has one need to try and survive. Abberline and Kelly become close during the film. The film ...
...has been using drugs which cause the hallucinations. From Hell is an eerie film with visual effects which make it unsuitable for young audiences. Johnny Depp is astounding as are the other members of the cast. A film which can be enjoyed on more than one occassion. ... Read review

Advantages: great actors, great plot, great story line twists. Just amazing.
Disadvantages: feeds your thirst for finding out the truth

...Depp), with a helping hand from Mary Kelly (Heather Graham) and Sergent Godley (Robbie Coltrane). This film shows the terror that walked the streets in London in 1888 that chills you to the bone. Like many I have read the stories and researched his killings, as there is still a quest to find the true Jack the RIpper. There is also many conspiracies to whom Jack the Ripper was including whether the Prince was involved, and these conspiracies are explored ... Read review

Shrouded In Notoriety
Review of A Bell From Hell DVD by  sghawken

Advantages: Incredibly dark, sinister movie
Disadvantages: Poor image quality due to age deteriation

...La Campana del infierno, or Bell From Hell as it is better known is somewhat of a lost classic. There are lots of stories that surround the movie, and a fair bit of notoriety; but lets focus on the movie first. Juan is released after many years in a mental institution. The reason for his incarceration is not really known at the beginning. But it is hinted that his lifestyle bought about his stay in the institute. No sooner has Juan left than he is vowing his revenge against those that crossed him and put him there in the first place. As Juan plays stupid mind games with those that bought his downfall he secretly plans a much bigger, more permanent revenge, A Bell From Hell was first forced into the limelight when its director Claudio Guerin fell or perhaps jumped from the bell on the final day of filming. The bell in question... Read review

greatest band ever
Review of Hell Is For Heroes - Live At The Sheffield Leadmill (Wide Screen) by  chrisemoface

Advantages: its hell is for heroes
Disadvantages: they dont play retreat

...now ive seen this band live before and i thought they are unbelievabe then i heard they were releasing a live dvd i was very excited and i wasnt let down, they blast through everyones favourates and throw in a few new tracks. Watching justin jump of the bass drum, throwing himself into the crowd and practically destorying his keyboard shows you how much energy there is in their performance this is about as close as you can get without being there, the only downfall is that they didnt play retreat, but still it has everything else you'd expect from hell is for heroes live including justins crazy dancing, this dvd will not disappoint you 10 / 10 BUY IT NOW... i mean it...

Review of The Eagles Hell Freezes Over by  tan55555

Advantages: Excellent sound quality
Disadvantages: Picture is only fullscreen

...This Opinion is about the Region 2 DVD of EAGLES -Hell Freezes Over with dts sound. I purchased this DVD from www.play.com for £14.99 including delivery and believe me it is worth every penny! I have always been a fan of the Eagles and they are from a generation which relied on raw musical talent rather than electonic wizadry in a studio, so they have always excelled in live performances. The concert recording is their infamous come back concert from 1994. The Eagles were once asked when they would play together again, and are quoted as saying "Only when hell freezes over" hence the name of the tour and the DVD. The song listing for this DVD is nothing short of breathtaking... 1. Hotel California 2. Tequila Sunrise 3. Help Me Through the Night 4. The Heart Of The Matter 5. Love Will Keep Us Alive 6. Learn to Be Still 7. Pretty Maids... Read review

DVD Description

FROM HELL is a gory detective film cloaked in Victorian-era mystique. The movie shows how the serial killer Jack the Ripper stalked the dark streets of 1888 London, slaying prostitutes and crudely dissecting their bodies. Based on the graphic novel written by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, this moody chiller is directed by twin brothers Albert and Allen Hughes (MENACE II SOCIETY, AMERICAN PIMP). Johnny Depp stars as Inspector Frederick Abberline, who smokes heavy doses of opium and drowns himself in absinthe to evoke hallucinatory visions that are his clues to catching the Ripper. Heather Graham co-stars as the prettiest of the floozies, who wins the muted affections of the inspector. With plenty of atmosphere and spooky effects, FROM HELL borrows scenery, filming tricks, and sequence construction from a host of popular movies, resulting in a visually interesting style. Haunting nighttime shots of the London skyline (actually Prague) bleed into shadowy Tim Burton-like prowls through the damp cobblestone streets; aerial camerawork contrasts with crowded ground-level focuses; and the camera peeks around corners and into foggy windows with stealthy curiosity. What may stand out most in viewers minds after the carnage is through, is the exaggerated use of surround sound, which brings a dreadful sense of reality to the film's gore, making FROM HELL all the juicier.

Professional reviews

Review: "...Sensational and accomplished....A horror film of genuine artistry and excitement. The Hughes brothers work with commanding restraint..." (Entertainment Weekly, p.87-8, 26/10/2001)

"...The Hughes Brothers' goal here is to make an epic of savagery, and they are brilliant at ambience and details....A conspiracy-theory thriller with brains and a heart..." (New York Times, p.E16, 19/10/2001)

"...Impressively realized, confirming the Brothers as formidable visual stylists....The shadow-drenched Prague studio sets help sustain a sense of claustrophobia well suited to a tale of endemic corruption..." (Sight and Sound, p.45, 01/03/2002)

"...It's a true auteur movie, perfectly in sync with the brothers' previous output and delivered with a dry, subliminal message..." (Total Film, p.102, 01/03/2002)
