Countless police reports, articles, and books have been written on the subject, and suspects ranged from a Polish immigrant, to a Russian con-man, a lawyer, a strong-built woman, and even members of noble and royal birth. Following a signed, red-inked letter sent to the Central New Agency, he (or she!) became known as Jack the Ripper, the mysterious figure who murdered at least five prostitutes, inflecting a slash wound to their throat, as well as mutilating their abdomen and genitals. One such infamous criminal, who was active in the autumn of 1888 in Whitechapel, London, was never identified and apprehended. Those who have been caught have rarely shown remorse, and some left a trail of over 200 victims. Besides their lack of empathy, their motivation can range from anger, to past trauma, thrill-seeking, or just plain financial gain, and they often select their victims based on demographic profile, race, genre, or age. I saw it on a Free Cinemax Preview.and still wanted my money back.By definition, a serial killer is a person who commits at least three murders, often following the same pattern, called modus operandi. And what in the heck was with the ending? What it did do, was take what was originally a well-fleshed story, with characters in peril.and turn it into a diseased, pustulant, rotting corpse that didn't even have the nerve to bombard us with gore, FX, or nudity to camouflage the dung-heap it was. In short, it COULD have shown, using the technology Carpenter didn't have, leprous-ghosts seeking revenge a flashback story behind Captain Blake, his wife and colony and the greedy, frightened '4' ancestors. We got about ten minutes of sporadic flashbacks to Captain Blake and his doomed maritime atuitous flashes of potentially leprous individuals.many absurd off-camera killings.

To expand on the original story of the Ill-fated ELIZABETH DANE, the clipper ship of lepers that was trying to establish an isolated community on some prime Oregon (originally California) Real Estate. *Here there May Be Spoilers* It tried.once. I tried to look for any bright spots in this remake. I tried I REALLY tried to act like I had never seen the John Carpenter masterful ghost story.
