Plot: a copycat killer comes back 100 years later and starts imitating the murders of Jack the Ripper. James Spader plays Jack, a med student who works in a clinic and is involved in local politics. At the same time he plays his own 'twin brother' who after the first Spader gets killed he starts to investigate his own twin brothers death. They seem to have had some kind of connection, he started dreaming of his own brothers death/having flashbacks, etc <br /> <br /> His brother dies at the hands of who we think is Jack the Ripper at first..or is he?now this 'twin' is trying to find the killer after his death, the one who really is committing the murders, we dont know if its the guy who killed his brother or someone else. <br /> <br />The police dont know who the ripper is, they think it might of been jack,'due to him being in the same location of the murder the night it happened'- the brother has to prove it wasnt him and find the killer before he strikes again. Its a decent 80's suspense/horror movie. Overall , the story is interesting enough and worth the watch.
Viewer Reviews This little viewed film of the 1980's put James Spader on the map. What a performance! Spader, along with the always reliable Robert Picardo and a surprisely effective Cynthia Gibbs navigate this up-to-date version of the Jack the Ripper Tale. A really creepy film. Enjoy!
