The inclusion of hands, knives, or representations of blood serves as a stark reminder of the film's violent themes and the lurking threat. These details underscore the central theme of vengeance and the terrifying legacy of Jack the Ripper.
Typography and Taglines
The iconic title, "Hands of the Ripper," is rendered in a bold, often jagged or distressed font, directly reflecting the violent subject matter. The typography serves to complement the illustrative artwork.
