December is here! We are finishing the year off with a look at some Horror Comic Book Adaptations. Up first is From Hell, the 2001 adaptation of Alan Moore's seminal tome about the Jack the Ripper murders.
We discuss our personal feelings on Alan Moore and his works. Simon breaks down the plot of the graphic novel and how the film differs.
How well does the film adapt the story and blend in the real life elements of the true story.
Were the Hughes Brothers the wrong Directors to tell this story? What did they get right and wrong.
We talk about the treatment of the real life people and victims involved in the real case and how they are portrayed in both the film and the book.
We get into our feelings on the real ripper case and what it means to us as people from the UK and the enduring legacy of the case.
We get into casting, storytelling and the overall feel of the film and how we feel about the ending and reveal of who or what Jack the Ripper is in this universe.
All this and lots more in this jam packed episode.
