Jack's Back
A young doctor is suspected when a series of Jack the Ripper copycat killings is committed. However, when the doctor himself is murdered, his identical twin brother claims to have seen visions of the true killer.
Why it matters
A neo-noir slasher that attempts to channel Jack the Ripper’s legacy through twin psychology and L.A. streets, delivering more atmosphere than payoff.
- Twin-identity twist adds psychological layers rarely seen in Ripper-inspired slashers.
- Gritty 80s Los Angeles backdrop offers moody urban decay over glossy horror tropes.
- Practical effects are minimal, but the tension peaks in the eerie visions scenes.
- Feels like a TV movie trapped in a slasher’s skin—great for fans of low-budget late-80s crime horror curiosities.
