What's most impressive is the directors' refusal to blow their film into a high-concept mess. Unlike recent tripe like Jeepers Creepers (gay porn masquerading as a monster movie), From Hell wants to dig not only into the guts of the innocent but into the complex entrails of history as well. After the success of this film, perhaps the Hughes brothers can turn their reactionary perspective--and ours--from the basic plight of the victimized underclass to the more intricate horrors of the well-heeled.
