    **The 19th century murder mysteries!** Based on the book of the same name. The late 1800s murder mystery, revolving around a young woman and an old cop who is investigating a series of murders. Elizabeth Cree had not had a best childhood, but she almost reached to her dream to become a best actress in the town. Then suddenly a murder jeopardise everything she had worked so hard. Now she has to cooperate with a detective to come out of the mess. But the tale takes a twist at every corner, making more complication for her freedom. How this puzzle is solved was told with a final twist that flips the whole scenario upside down. First of all, I love such costume drama. The atmosphere was awesome. Well maintained suspense, along with a good pace of the story narration. From all it's the actors, especially for me, it's the Olivia Cooke. Bill Nighy was not bad too. Despite he's one of the main character, Cooke stole the show. But the film was not a masterpiece. From an entertainment perspective, it delivered. I think it was a good adaptation. The only weak point is, most people would guess the end twist. It was intentional. But overall film was decent. _6/10_

    **_Solving a series of shocking killings in Victorian East London_** In the Limehouse district, 1880, a woman (Olivia Cooke) faces execution for allegedly poisoning her husband (Sam Reid), but a Scotland Yard inspector (Bill Nighy) has increasing compassion on her as he seeks to solve the local serial slayings. Daniel Mays is on hand as his sidekick constable. Based on the 1994 novel, “The Limehouse Golem” (2016) is a Victorian murder mystery set in the heart of London. It’s basically a mix of Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper flicks, as well as Jekyll & Hyde, such as "From Hell,” “Jack the Ripper” (1976), “Edge of Sanity” and "The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll." If you're in the mood for a Victorian milieu, black coats, cobblestone streets, gas lamps, horse-driven carriages, alluring women, music hall entertainment, ghastly killings and effective mystery, you can’t go wrong. While winsome Olivia is first-rate as the female protagonist, María Valverde beats her out on the beauty front as Music Hall entertainer Aveline. While her character isn’t very likable, the director doesn’t fail to capture her physical exquisiteness. As for the unexpected bit appearance of Karl Marx: Yes, he practically lived in the British Library from 1849 through to his passing in 1883. People complain about the ending being “predictable,” but the film effectively entertains several possibilities concerning the identity of the slayer and commits to ONE at the end. Would these critics prefer an unsolved mystery? If any of the other possibilities were picked, would they be satisfied? The movie runs 1 hour, 48 minutes, and was shot in West Yorkshire with filming taking place in locations like Leeds and Keighley, as well as the library at University of Manchester with exterior shots of the British Museum in London. GRADE: B+/A-

    Period pieces always get my attention. The Horror theme in a period piece really gets me going. The matter in which our main characters go about their duties is exemplary, to say the least. Amidst the Gore and debauchery, there is genuine tenderness. Unceasing intrigue kept me on the edge of my seat, breathing silently so as not to miss anything. The gore returns to remind us that this is a physical assault on the senses as well as a psychological war on our minds, as is not just what we see but also what we think and presume to be. My mind is officially blown and happy beyond belief with film. A Keeper...
