Much enjoyable verve and style strangely brighten up a gruesome setting. And shouldn't the safety switch for a dangerous stage prop be closely guarded? Otherwise it would be like leaving trains on hilly slopes without brakes engaged or…

A very well done yarn..worth the time to watch...

This movie is replete with gore, sexual violence, nudity, and blood aplenty. It could be the depiction of a literally bloody nightmare. An overall crude production. It has no "moral of the story" except a strong counsel: you don't need…

First-rate acting and a setting that perfectly evokes the Victorian period. The story has a nice twist to it. I didn't find the film overly gory considering the plot.

This is a particular kind of guilty pleasure for girls who are way beyond being woke. For those few, I recommend.

Warning: Extremely graphic, gory, and disturbing scenes such as the slicing open of a prostitute with a knife. I like Bill Nighy a lot, but couldn't enjoy this movie for the unnecessarily gruesome violence. This kind of thing can be kept…

A pretty movie to watch, and while dingy it's not as dark in appearance as some movies of this style tend to be. It's a fairly straight forward murder mystery, with some gore in it but less of a thriller than some. The costumes and acting…

Beautiful art direction, sets, great ensemble cast. Set in 1880's, London , England. Takes place in the poorest part of the city, which adds to the mystery of these continual murders. Nighy plays the inspector who will solve the case, and…

This mystery/thriller film is set in the Victorian era and follows a detective as they try to solve the case of a serial killer who has been killing violently and leaving gruesome bloody notes behind. Even though the actors did a great job…

An expensive looking film with decent cast, period costumes and rich theater set. Nighy played a detective who followed his nose investigating a series of gruesome murders in seedy Limehouse in Victorian London. In the process, he nosed…

While I wouldn't consider this film to be any kind of masterpiece of cinema, it was a fun period piece with plenty of twists and turns. A depraved murderer stalks a London suburb, and the investigation draws Inspector Kildare into the…

Directed by Juan Carlos Medina in 2016 based on the novel "Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem" by Peter Ackroyd, this British horror-mystery depicts the investigation of the horrific murders. In 1880---before Jack the Ripper---the city of…

this is an interesting, unusual and intriguing story thriller movie. Well done. Great performance and amazing costumes of this time. Keep your interest until the end. Definitively a movie to see.

Bill Nighy is one of the greatest actors in the world. The cast that accompanies him is fantastic in this story. The set, the costumes, are all wonderful. Though you can see the end coming it still is a interesting story. I must admit I…

Visually stunning and well told, really enjoyed this murder mystery.

This was a strange one. I was thinking it would be sort of a Ripper Street kind of movie. Rest assured, it was not. Don't really understand why Bill Nighy got himself mixed up in this thing.

Almost a brilliant film. Really well-acted - Bill Nighy is just perfect and Olivia Cooke is GREAT though I had never heard of her I will look for her other films. Lots of twists and turns with a twist at the end I should have seen coming…

A solid script, great acting, good director, and an excellent twist at the end. What more can a viewer ask of a suspense movie? Two thumbs up!

I like Bill Nighy a lot, and this was well done, like a PBS Masterpiece. It just seemed plotted and contrived. Solid cast, good twist at the end. Glad I saw it, wouldn’t recommend it.

Nice period piece. Found it almost like a Sherlock Holmes story, lots of twists and turns. Acting was very well done, captured my attention from the start to the end. End had a very good twist that wasn't expected but once you found out…

Enjoyed this movie, was not quite sure who the Golem was till the end. Nice film, the theater is gorgeously done, and the characters are well acted. People forget how poor the east enders really were in the lavish Victorian age.
