Sherlock Holmes is drawn into the case of Jack the Ripper, who is killing prostitutes in London's East End. Assisted by Dr. Watson, and using information provided by a renowned psychic, Robert Lees, Holmes finds that the murders may have their roots in a Royal indiscretion and that a cover-up is being managed by politicians at the highest level, all of whom happen to be Masons.

🔍 Search on JustWatch →The film uses anxiety as a tool: applied precisely, in the right places. Doesn't let you relax, but doesn't overdo it.
A thriller that rewards on repeat viewing: you notice things the second time around. Worth revisiting.
For fans of suspense and psychological tension. If you need action — this is a different film.
