O TYM ODCINKU
This week we descend into the foggy streets of Victorian London to compare Albert and Allen Hughes’s From Hell (2001) to the real story of possibly the most notorious serial killer of all time, Jack the Ripper. Starring Johnny Depp and based on the acclaimed graphic novel, From Hell offers a dark and conspiracy filled interpretation of the infamous Whitechapel murders – but how much of its story is rooted in fact, and how much is pure speculation? We explore the real case, examine the identities of the victims, and break down the many theories surrounding the killer’s true identity. From secret societies and royal conspiracies to psychic vision and fictional detectives, we’ll separate the historical records from the movie’s imaginative storytelling. We also discuss what historians actually know about the murders and why the case remains unsolved over a century later.
