From Hell

The film adaptation of From Hell was directed by the Hughes Brothers, the same duo that made Book of Eli. Although a few scenes are taken directly from the graphic novel, the majority of the movie is completely different than the book. One thing that I really like about the movie is that the audience doesn't know who the murderer is until the end. A difference I didn't like as much was that the psychic character is combined with the character of Inspector Abberline. I do like how he only has his visions while smoking opium. Another big difference is that Mary Kelly escapes to her home town in Ireland, and Abberline (In the movie, his wife died years ago, and he falls in love with Mary Kelly) knows that he will endanger her if he follows. He kills himself.
