The From Hell graphical novel borrows heavy from the Stephen Knight's "Jack The Ripper - The Final Solution".
The whole royal connection, Anne Crook and the stage coach theory was all his. The only real difference is the ripper, he said it was the work of 3 men (one of which was William Gull).
I did enjoy the film and felt it did depict a small part of the depraverty of Eastend Victorian London.
The length of the film was about right (but watch the deleted scenes as some of them could have added to the film).
