THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM

"Who knows what any man is capable of? We all wear pantomime masks, do we not?"

SYNOPSIS: A detective tries to find a serial killer while trying to free a woman accused of murdering her own husband.

RATING: 7.5/10

REVIEW: 

• I found the cinematography creepy, gruesome, dark, and amazing. It reminded me of Sweeney Todd.
• Plot-wise, it wasn't awesome but it was alright. I think something doesn't quite match the synopsis that was given though.
• The pacing was quite slow so it got kind of boring. Still, I was intrigued as to how things would unfold. 
• I really didn't expect the twist to come or maybe I really didn't think that there would be one.
• I like the short musical parts. It kind of reminded me of Sweeney Todd and Les Miserables.
• The cast was amazing in their performances especially Douglas Booth as Leno. I love him and his scenes. It was weird but really amazing.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Sure, if you want something mysterious and dark (but does have a bit of a slow pacing).
WOULD I WATCH IT AGAIN: Probably not unless someone invited me to watch it with them.

• I really liked the random humor between Kildare and the Constable.  
• I really didn't expect that Elizabeth would be the killer. Honestly, I thought it would be Leno. 
• The scene with uncle was very cringe-worthy to watch.
• I hated that Elizabeth's husband was having an affair Aveline (and Elizabeth knew). Sure, she did not have the usual marriage but what the hell?
• I really hated Aveline. She ruined Elizabeth's play (maybe if she didn't do that, Elizabeth wouldn't have killed all those people). What happened in the end was good riddance.
• I really don't understand why Elizabeth murdered all those people. Oh yeah, she just wanted fame but arghh I wanted a reason why she chose those specific people.
