Cauldron Films is preparing a 4K Blu-ray/Blu-ray combo pack release of Jess Franco's Jack the Ripper (1976), starring Klaus Kinski, Lina Romay, Herbert Fux, Josephine Chaplin, and Andreas Mannkopff. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on April 28.
Description: During the late 1800's, the Whitechapel area of London was gripped in fear as Jack the Ripper (Klaus Kinski — Code Name: Wild Geese) literally tore through the prostitutes of the area. Desperately trying to solve the grisly murders and placate the panicking residents, Inspector Selby (Andreas Mannkopff) finds himself obsessed with finding the killer and protecting his girlfriend (Josephine Chaplin — The Canterbury Tales) who may be next…
One of the many films prolific director Jess Franco made during his brief but memorable collaboration with producer Erwin C. Dietrich, Jack the Ripper feels like a Hammer film directed by a maniac. Full of period costumes, foggy cobblestone streets, an extra helping of gore and nudity with supporting performances by Herbert Fux (Love Letters of a Portuguese Nun) and Franco muse Lina Romay (Rolls Royce Baby), Jack the Ripper is sure to please Euro Horror sickos.
Restored from a 4K scan of the negative and best available materials, Cauldron Films presents the worldwide 4K Blu-ray debut of this legendary version of the classic tale.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
DISC ONE - 4K BLU-RAY
