From Hell

Perhaps this retelling of the story of Jack the Ripper should have been named "From TV Times".

For most of the faces wandering the streets of Victorian London have been seen previously in ITV dramas.

Spot that Pitbull guy from London's Burning! There's the wife of the guy who got killed in Soldier Soldier! And wasn't that one in Band of Gold?

It's best not to spend too long playing spot-the-actor, though, for you might miss some of the plot.

There's a lot of it to go round in this absorbing, many-layered and gruesomely-enjoyable retelling of the Jack the Ripper story.

There's nothing to greatly surprise Ripper fans, but the existing conspiracy theories have been knitted together to form a satisfying explanation for the killer's identity and motives.

Freemasonry, royalty, medicine, illegitimate births, satanism, police corruption, extortion, mental illness, the paranormal: all play a part in the rich brew.

Our hero is an unconventional young detective, played by Johnny Depp, who uses illegal drugs to summon up visions of the murderer.

Our heroine is a prostitute, played by Heather Graham, who has a heart of gold and the brain of a 20th century feminist.

Graham and her five friends - all street girls - have become the targets of a mystery man with a tall hat, dark cloak and bag of medical instruments.

Depp follows the clues and Graham falls in love, and as the body count rises the pair find themselves confronting the might of the Victorian establishment.

From Hell (18) - daily at Keighley Picture House - is a mix of scream-style slasher movie and intelligent mystery, making you think and cringe in equal measure.

It oozes blood but oozes even more style, recreating the sinister streets of Whitechapel and peopling them with darkly-memorable characters.

Ocean's Eleven (12) follows an all-star cast, led by George Clooney and Brad Pitt, as they rob three Las Vegas casinos, showing daily at the Picture House.

Monsters Inc (U), Disney's story of a little girl who accidentally walks through the closet and meets nice-guy monsters, is shown daily including weekend matinees.

Just Visiting (PG), a comedy about a Blackadder-style medieval French duo who travel to the 21st century USA, is at the Picture House for weekend matinees.
