From Hell (2001)
This film implicates Freemasonry as being responsible for the 1888 "Ripper murders" in Whitechapel, London. Based on a graphic novel written by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, the many masonic images and references place this highly fictionalized account in the catagory of intentional anti-masonry.
The royal conspiracy theory—in which Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward (known as "Eddy" to his friends) is accused of committing the murders to cover up his alleged marriage to a Catholic shop girl, Annie Crook—first appeared in 1973 in the BBC programme, Jack the Ripper. It was further enlarged by Stephen Knight, in his Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution, (George G. Harrap Co. Ltd., London, 1976). A variation on this theory, as explored in this movie, has Eddy’s friends or retainers committing the murders to cover up the prince’s activities.
