Review of Ripper

Ripper (2001)
2/10
Carbon dated.
11 April 2021
This film opens with a quite effective and cinematic first sequence, promising to be an atmospheric & frightening horror viewing experience.

Then it is rapidly apparent within seconds of the following scene that this will not be the case.

What we get instead is an excruciatingly dated (to an embarrassing degree) 90's rock video, where even the hairstyles are irritating.

Every character has a tiresome grungy rebellious attitude with a highly charged sexuality.

Throughout the endlessly cliche-ridden plot, we are bombarded with a playlist of generic 90's music that seems to take center stage.

Let's not also forget to point out that the improbability factor is turned up to eleven or that it features quite an unwelcome 'moment' between a young woman & her teacher.

They seem to be clutching at straws for a satisfactory conclusion & settle on quite a gimmicky one.
