This film doesn't really go anywhere and the marketing is a bit of a con telling you that it's a Jack the Ripper horror film but it's very misleading. Here, it's basically about other characters mostly set in modern time, talking to ripperologists on their electronic devices. The period drama flashback sequences were quite boring and unfulfilling as they don't lead to anywhere. Nothing that will get ripper fans hooked. Acting was okay but there wasn't anything worth watching and nothing you haven't seen before. Cover is probably the best thing about it but wouldn't be surprised if it was AI generated.

The acting is ok with some of the cast but with others it feels off - the vampire Machiavelli called Victor (David B. Meadows), for instance, would probably come across better if the thick accent was eschewed. There is no rhyme or reason for the vampire hierarchy (the elders are there by dint of age - and the chief elder is an exercise in lack of exploiting the casting as Bill Oberst Jr. (Black Water Vampire & Dis) is too good of an actor to have been used so little) and thus the elevation of Marie, as a newly turned, seems unrealistic. But it is the underexplored and thoroughly holey backstory that spoils this the most.
