The Haunting at Jack the Ripper’s House Review (2025)

Synopsis

A group of famous YouTubers known for their paranormal ‘ghost hunting’ video blogs set out on a mission to end the rumors they’re faking their haunts and film their most ambitious video yet.

The Haunting at Jack the Ripper’s House Good Points

• The livestream setup works pretty well because the characters feel exactly like the kind of internet personalities who would absolutely lock themselves in a haunted building for views.
  
  
• The group dynamic actually ends up being more entertaining than the actual Jack the Ripper stuff, and gave the film way more personality than the ghost story itself.
  
  
• A lot of the dialogue feels fairly natural, where conversations overlap, people ramble, and reactions feel quite believable.
  
  
• The film has a rough energy to it that I found quite charming, and it all feels scrappy rather than lifeless.
  
  
• There are plenty of moments where the film clearly understands how ridiculous these situations and personalities are, and is better of for it.
  
  
• The livestream comments and social media elements help to capture that horrible online audience mentality where everything instantly becomes content.
  
  
• The house itself does a lot of work atmosphere wise, and even in slower scenes, there’s usually enough tension floating around to stop things from completely stalling.
  
  
• Some of the smaller creepy moments work so much better than the bigger scare attempts.
  
  
• The final stretch is easily the strongest part, as once the film fully leans into the mayhem, we finally get some energy that matches the setup.

The Haunting at Jack the Ripper’s House Bad Points

• The Jack the Ripper angle feels mostly surface level, as the film uses the name for atmosphere and attention but doesn’t really do much interesting with it.
  
  
• Some performances are uneven, and there are scenes where the acting suddenly becomes way too dramatic.
  
  
• The lighting gets way too dark in places, and not atmospheric dark either, but genuinely hard to see dark where it becomes difficult to tell what’s happening on screen.
  
  
• Some scenes drag on longer than they need to, especially during the middle section before things properly start escalating.
  
  
• The found footage format still falls into some familiar habits, so even with the livestream angle it doesn’t completely escape feeling predictable at times.
  
  
• Some edits feel clunky and rough, which adds charm occasionally but also hurts it in a few scenes.
  
  
• Most of the scares are very obvious before they happen.
  
  
• The supernatural side of the story isn’t nearly as interesting as the group dynamic.

Final Thoughts on The Haunting at Jack the Ripper’s House.

This one is a bit messy overall, but it has enough personality and energy to make it somewhat watchable – not one to rush out to watch though.
