London,1888 and the Ripper murders are gripping the country. The people of Whitechapel are afraid to walk the streets at night and the police are no closer to cracking the case. Chief Inspector Abberline leads the investigation and with pressure from above to catch the killer, his own demons start to get the better of him.
What Abberline doesn’t know is that there is someone out there who wants to help. Someone in the shadows…. watching…. waiting to strike.
“There’s worse things out there than Jack the Ripper.”
Anybody who knows me will know how much I love Batman. They’ll also know how much I adore the Giallo genre. So one day I was surfing the net, bored out of my brains, when I decided to type ‘Batman Giallo’ whereupon I stumbled across this absolute beauty. Ripper is a fan made film that uses Gotham by Gaslight as an inspiration point in pitting the caped crusader against London’s own notorious serial killer.
Visually inspired by early Italian horror with a killer synth score to match, this fan made film is already making waves amongst comic enthusiasts with Kevin Smith himself even endorsing the project. With a strong cast made up of experienced industry professionals, Ripper promises to be a unique and much welcomed event where fans around the globe can bask in the awesomeness that is Batman. So keep your eyes peeled for an imminent release.
