Jack The Ripper UK and USA Versions available from Severin Films!!


In 1959, legendary showman Joseph E. Levine unleashed this grisly UK thriller on American moviegoers. But when audiences were horrified by the film’s startling violence, graphic nudity and bloody Technicolor climax, it became one of Levine’s most notorious failures. The UK and USA versions of the film are back and being released.
