Sinopsis(1)
Situado en las implacables y miserables calles de la Londres victoriana en 1880, The Limehouse Golem comienza en la barroca sala de música donde sube al escenario el intérprete más famoso de la capital, Dan Leno (Douglas Booth). En su monólogo cuenta el horrible destino de una joven que actuaba en ese escenario, su querida amiga Elizabeth Cree (Olivia Cooke), quien se enfrenta a ser ejecutada en la horca acusada de asesinar a su esposo, John Cree (Sam Reid). La muerte de Lizzie parece inevitable, hasta que el inspector John Kildare (Bill Nighy) se hace cargo del caso de The Limehouse Golem, un asesino en serie nefasto y calculador, que mata inocentes sin ninguna conexión, dejando tras de sí cadáveres apenas identificables y una marca: "M". Nada es lo que parece, todo el mundo es sospechoso y tiene un secreto. (Alfa Pictures)

An average atmospheric thriller set in London, where the serial killer Golem is on the rampage. I can usually stomach films like this, the dirty streets of London, hookers, rats and blood create a very dark atmosphere, but here there is hardly any of the above. Bill Nighy is very old and Olivia Cooke is cute. It's a great pity that the film focuses more on the crime line and the theatre scenes, until the interesting twist at the end, which is quite unexpected and surprisingly and nicely brutal. If it weren't for the last 15 minutes I would go even lower with the rating. 55%

The British horror film The Limehouse Golem is not one of those films that completely blows you away, but I couldn't help but enjoy this detective excursion into old London. I am simply enchanted by that era and probably everything that takes place in it that is not downright lazy can captivate me. I think The Limehouse Golem deserves at least a slightly better rating than it generally gets.
