and accuracy to the synopsis.
The movie Jack the Ripper is a fictional portrayal of a serial killer who targets prostitutes in the Whitechapel district of London in the late 1800s. The killer, known as Jack the Ripper, is revealed to be a man named Albert, whose mother was a sex worker and abused him as a child.
As an adult, Albert develops a twisted obsession with his mother and seeks revenge on the women he sees as representative of her abuse. He begins stalking and murdering prostitutes, leaving mutilated bodies in his wake.
The police struggle to identify the killer as Jack the Ripper taunts them with cryptic messages and gruesome displays of his victims' remains. Meanwhile, Albert's psychosis deepens as he spirals further into his delusion of avenging his mother's mistreatment.
In the climactic finale, Albert is caught in the act of attacking yet another prostitute and is brought to justice. The tragedy of Jack the Ripper is portrayed as a result of societal neglect of both sexual and mental health issues, particularly in impoverished areas like Whitechapel.
