Comments: From Hell is one of those films that certainly has issues, yet my overall fondness for the material makes me like it more than I probably should. I first developed a fondness for the film when I was in high school; I'm not sure what stood out most, but the dark seedy world combined with the incredible set pieces really immersed me in late 19th century London. The style and look of the film (and the surprisingly abrasive violence) really make up for an occasionally meandering plot, and I always find myself drawn to the horror-esque aspects that really enhance the film. From Hell may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I really dig it. I'm happy with my $6 purchase from Walmart.
