I watched this movie in a boring afternoon. I was looking for a good horror movie and I found this one. Never saw it before so I decided to give it a try. Molly is in a psychiatric hospital because she think she is Jack the Ripper. Her therapy is not very successful so she decides to go To Prague for an experiment: she will live in a virtual realty. Once in Prague, she met other guys like her. Living with the others is not easy and there's a murderer around. SPOILER ALERTThe guys start to die in the virtual reality and Molly realizes they die in the real world too. She also understands she is the one who created the murderer. She kills herself in order to be free from her demon. So, Molly goes back to the real world and finds out her friends are all dead for real. FINAL COUP DE THEATRE: Molly never left her hospital and all the the people she met are "guests" of this hospital.Dialogues of poor quality, predicted and somehow confused plot, this movie is dripping with D movies, psychological thriller and teen drama. I've wasted an hour and half of my time.

OK, OK this is far from the best horror film out there, and is definitely not as good as the first Ripper film, but its not that bad if you enjoy slasher flicks. Trust me, i've got the 'Horror Channel' here in the UK, and i've seen some very very poor horror films lately to compare this against. Yes the 'virtual reality' part of the plot is a bit stale and the 'twist' ending is one of the oldest around, but very little in the slasher genre is new these days. However the killer looked and sounded cool, and the fact that is was in fact Mollys 'dark side' that was stalking her in virtuality was something new in my book.The worst part of the film was the sex dungeon sequence in the nightclub, even as a bloke, and therefor a fan of T&A, it just seemed stuck on for the sake of it, and could of been heavily edited to fit the plot without coming across as gratuitous. A personal mention goes to actress Myfanwy Waring who unfortunately gets killed early on in the film, as its good to hear a gorgeous Welsh accent in a film.Verdict - If you liked Ripper, and like slasher films, give it a watch (if you can find it) and enjoy it for what it is. 6 out of 10

The director of an asylum offers to the serial killer Molly Keller (Erin Karpluk) a chance to be submitted to a pilot unconventional experiment in Prague, in the Weisser Institute. Molly accepts, and she travels to the clinic, where Dr. Samuel Wiesser (Richard Bremmer) developed a treatment using a virtual world, and Molly and deranged youngsters would be trial subjects. However, something does not work well in the experiment, and when the patients die in their trip, the same happens in the real world. The explanation is a huge twist point in the very end of the story."Ripper 2: Letter from Within" is not so bad as indicated in IMDb User Rating. The ham actor Richard Bremmer is very funny with his horrible acting; there are many beautiful women and breasts; the death scenes, the special effects and the atmosphere are great for a B-movie; and the story has a great plot point in the end that makes a difference. I respect the other viewers' opinion, but I liked this slash movie. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Ripper 2"

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*You know, it's important in B-movies to deliver the B-movie thrills. That should be pretty obvious. Cheap thrills man. That's what it's all about. Some breasts here, a little blood there. "Ripper 2" pretends to give you all of this but then gleefully pulls the rug out from under you.I thought I was watching a movie about a female Jack the Ripper but apparently I was wrong. The filmmakers must have watched "The Matrix" a few dozen times and became infatuated with the concept of make believe worlds. A girl checks into an insane asylum. She thinks she's related to Jack the Ripper. A doctor wants to mess with her mind and screw up the movie. She says yes please. The rest of the movie has her running from a grim reaper-looking maniac, (or is he?), while a lot of nothing happens to people that may not exist.If it all sounds confusing, don't worry. As long as you remember not to watch this movie, you'll have nothing to worry about.
