Hello,
I have a question, hope anyone can help me clarify my doubt. At the end when Jack the Ripper kills the last girl, why does he caught fire? But in the trial he's not burn?
Thank you in advance.
It was a hallucination. He had finally gone completely nuts hence the eviceration of the last victim.
shareIn the graphic novel Dr. Gull has a mystical experience while killing and mutilating the girl in the room. If the filmmakers had tried to show the mystical experience as it was shown in the graphic novel the film would have been ten times better, but ten times more confusing.
So the exploding tea kettle can be taken to be part of a larger mystical experience that Dr. Gull is having. How the boiling of a heart in a tea kettle achieved this mystical experience is a good question for which I do not have the answer.
Wow, this movie sounds terrible. I'm glad that I never watched it.
