'''''From Hell''''' is a 2001 [[mystery film|mystery]] [[horror film|horror]] [[thriller film|thriller]]<ref>{{cite web | url= https://www.allmovie.com/movie/from-hell-am6699 | title=From Hell (2001) - Albert Hughes, Allen Hughes &#124; Synopsis, Characteristics, Moods, Themes and Related &#124; AllMovie }}</ref> film directed by [[Hughes Brothers|the Hughes Brothers]] and written by [[Terry Hayes]] and [[Rafael Yglesias]]. It is loosely based on the [[From Hell|graphic novel of the same name]] by [[Alan Moore]] and [[Eddie Campbell]] about the [[Jack the Ripper]] murders. The film stars [[Johnny Depp]] as [[Frederick Abberline]], the lead investigator of the murders, and [[Heather Graham]] as [[Mary Jane Kelly|Mary Kelly]], a prostitute targeted by the Ripper. Other cast members include [[Ian Holm]], [[Robbie Coltrane]], [[Ian Richardson]] and [[Jason Flemyng]]. It was an international co-production between the United Kingdom, the United States and Czech Republic.

''From Hell'' was theatrically released in the United States on October 19, 2001, by [[20th Century Fox]], to mixed critical reviews. It grossed over $74 million worldwide.

==Plot==
In 1888, [[Mary Jane Kelly|Mary Kelly]] and a small group of [[London]] prostitutes trudge through unrelenting daily misery. Their friend Ann Crook is a former prostitute now married to a wealthy painter named Albert, and she has recently given birth to a daughter, Alice. When Ann is kidnapped, the women are drawn into a [[conspiracy (political)|conspiracy]] with links to high society. Ann's kidnapping is followed by the gruesome murder of another one of the women, and it soon becomes apparent that each of the prostitutes is being hunted, murdered and mutilated post-mortem by a killer called [[Jack the Ripper]].

The prostitute murders grab the attention of [[Whitechapel]] [[Police Inspector|police inspector]] [[Frederick Abberline]], a brilliant yet troubled man whose police work is often aided by his [[psychic]] "visions". Abberline is still grieving the death of his wife during childbirth two years earlier. His colleague Sergeant Peter Godley tries to grasp Abberline's strange theories. Abberline's investigations reveal that an educated person, likely knowledgeable in human anatomy, is responsible for the murders because of the highly precise, surgical methods used.

Ann is soon located in a [[workhouse]] after being [[lobotomy|lobotomized]] because doctors deemed her violent and insane. It is implied that the operation was performed in order to silence her.

Abberline consults [[Sir William Gull, 1st Baronet|Sir William Gull]], a physician to the royal family, drawing on his experience and knowledge of medicine. During this meeting, Gull deduces that Abberline is struggling with [[opium addiction]]. Gull's findings point Abberline to a darker, more organized conspiracy than he had originally suspected. Abberline becomes deeply involved with the case, which takes on personal meaning when he falls in love with Mary.

Abberline deduces that [[Freemason]] influence is involved in the murders. His superior, a high-ranking Freemason, opposes Abberline's methods and suspends him from the case. Thereafter, Abberline persists and discovers that Gull is the killer. Gull was instructed to dispose of all witnesses to the forbidden marriage of painter [[Walter Sickert]] to Ann Crook, the mother of his legitimate daughter, Alice. Sickert is revealed to be [[Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale|Prince Albert]], grandson of the reigning [[Queen Victoria]]. Albert is dying of [[syphilis]], which makes baby Alice the soon-to-be heiress to the British throne.{{refn|group=nb|In real life the [[Royal Marriages Act 1772]] would make Albert's marriage legally null and void and Alice a bastard, because he did not get his grandmother's approval. If he did get approval, he would have instead disinherited himself by marrying a Catholic in contravention of the [[Act of Settlement 1701]] before the article banning such marriages was removed by the [[Succession to the Crown Act 2013]], but in that case Alice would have succession rights if not raised as or ever becoming a Catholic (like [[Lady Amelia Windsor]]).}} Gull boasts to Abberline that he will be remembered in history for giving "birth to the 20th century". Abberline draws his gun, vowing that Gull will never see the 20th century, but before he is able to shoot Gull, he is knocked out by Ben Kidney, another Freemason.

The Freemasons try to eliminate Abberline without leaving any witnesses, but Abberline fights back and kills one of the assassins by overturning a carriage. Next, he rushes to save Mary but arrives too late, and blames his superior for not helping him or Godley on the cases. Going through the gruesome murder scene, Abberline discovers a brunette lock of hair differing from Mary's red, and conceals this evidence to protect her. Gull's increasingly sinister behaviour lends insight into his murderous, but calculating, mind. Rather than publicly charge Gull, the Freemasons lobotomize him to protect themselves and the royal family from the scandal. Gull defiantly states he has no equal among men, remaining unrepentant until the surgery, which renders him an invalid like Ann.

Abberline goes to the Ten Bells Tavern in Whitechapel and receives a mysterious letter from Mary. It is revealed that Gull had mistaken another prostitute, Ada, for Mary and killed her instead. Cautious of being watched closely by Freemasons, Abberline decides not to look for her despite knowing she's out there. He burns Mary's letter, knowing that he can never have a normal life with her. Sergeant Godley later finds Abberline dead of an opium overdose. Distraught, Godley places [[coins for the dead|two coins over Abberline's eyes]] and mournfully says, "Good night, sweet prince."

Years later, Mary is shown to have adopted Alice, and the two are living in a cottage on a cliff by the sea in [[Ireland]].

==Production==
''From Hell'' took several years to reach production, and two studios had owned the property before it found its home at [[20th Century Fox]].

[[Nigel Hawthorne]] was originally cast as Sir William Gull,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sci-fi-online.com/Interview/02-06-05_AllenHughes.htm |title=Allen Hughes - Interview |publisher=Sci-fi-online.com |access-date=2015-09-29}}</ref> but on July 26, 2000, it was announced that Hawthorne had withdrawn from the role because of his terminal cancer. He was replaced by [[Ian Holm]].<ref name="ign.com"/> The disparity in height between Hawthorne and the much shorter Holm forced some of the scenes to be altered. Hawthorne died two months after the film's release.

As some critics considered the film to be too violent and gory, it was edited in order to avoid an [[Motion Picture Association of America film rating system|NC-17 rating]] by the [[Motion Picture Association of America]]. Eventually, it received an R rating due to "strong violence/gore, sexuality, language and drug content".<ref name="brothers hughes">{{cite news | last =Wloszczyna | first =Susan | title =The brothers Hughes | newspaper =USA Today | date =October 18, 2001 | url =https://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/2001-10-18-hughes-brothers.htm | access-date =August 31, 2007 }}</ref>
