Fitfully arresting late night entertainment.

The Hughes boys blow it by burying a fine cast ... in stock scares, sappy romance and cliches that really are from hell.

The problem with this film is that Jack the Ripper takes a backseat to the dull and terrible romance between Depp's policeman character and Heather Graham's prostitute character.

It has the lush decrepitude of an autumn compost heap or an old Hammer werewolf flick.
