From Hell

I watched this on video with a good friend. I was expecting a good film, based on some reviews I had read. Unfortunately, we both thought it was terrible. It turned into a laugh fest as we started making fun of it, and continued to do that all the way through. Some of the accents were pathetically bad. The acting and the script were both terrible. We really laughed at some of the bad lines in this film. We both have been big fans of Johnny Depp. Recently he seems to have been cruising through most of his films, getting by on his looks and attitude without really acting. In this film he tried to do that, but it didn't work. His performance was very very disappointing in this film. If you want to see him in a much better "period" horror film, rent Sleepy Hollow. That one was not perfect, but was much better than From Hell was.
