Ripper: Letter from Hell
A massacre survivor studies serial killers under a famous expert, but her classmates soon start dying at the hands of a Jack the Ripper copycat.
Why it matters
A slasher with a scholarly twist that riffs on true crime obsession and Ripper mythology in early-2000s direct-to-video style.
- Packs enough slasher body count and mystery to satisfy fans of Scream-era campus thrillers.
- The Jack the Ripper angle adds a grim historical shadow rarely mined this explicitly in late 90s/early 2000s slashers.
- Practical gore effects deliver the grue without going overboard—a decent showcase for KNB-style handiwork.
- Not polished enough for mainstream cult status, but perfect for viewers craving low-budget horror that wears its genre influences on its sleeve.
