Jack the Ripper's daughter survives a traumatic childhood (go figure) and grows up damaged, with homicidal tendencies of her own. I watched this with my colleague Ms. Applebaum, who heroically sat through it to the end, and noted that it's a horror movie without a true villain. It's also short on reasons for the audience to stay awake. (Ms. A can testify to that, too.) The Hammer studio produced.
