Ripper Man

VHS, R, TURNER HOME ENT

Murder. Mayhem. And a Madman. Life becomes deadly for ex-cop-turned-hypnotist, Mike Lazo (Mike Norris), when he meets Charles Walken (Timothy Bottoms), a mysterious stranger obsessed with reincarnation. While under hypnosis, Walken slips back in time to become the 19th century's bloodiest killer, Jack the Ripper, reliving in brutal and exact detail a series of more recent murders. His lust to kill inflamed by Lazo's attempt to turn him into the police, leaves a trail of carnage that bathes the San Diego streets in blood. In the edge-of-your-seat, action-packed climax, only one man can end the butcher's bloody reign of terror, save those he loves, and rid the world of this ultimate evil.
