This was one of the last masterpieces from Hammer Films of England. I love those foggy suspenseful night street scenes from movies like this. There was another good one in Dr.Jekyll and Sister Hyde.
Here Anna, the daughter of Jack The Ripper, is being treated by a psychiatrist, but he can't control her. This is ~50 minutes into the film.
Consider this a preview to promote purchase or rental. This film is not common, probably too strong for television, but well worth it for mature audiences.
Just judging by title or cover people might assume it's a cheap slasher film. Hammer needs to be known.
I grew up on the Universal Monsters but recently I've become a Hammer Horror junkie, thanks to the good people on YT who take the time to post. I love the mood Hammer films set with those lush, gothic backrounds, stirring music and, at the very least, an interesting plot. Their films aren't really scary, but they're so much fun to watch.

I agree, this is wonderful film. Just like Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde is wonderful, crazy Victorian Gothic, not sleazy exploitation crap.
