Rating: 6/10 --
The murders are gruesome and artful and production design is top-notch, but we'd trade some of it in a heartbeat for a little less "golem" and a little more living, breathing soul in the script.

North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.)
...the best 19th century feminist backstage drama/murder mystery you'll see this year.

FILMINK (Australia)
The feminist critique is present in the dialogue and narrative structure, but it hardly feels integrated into the performances or the images. For all that Medina does with it, The Limehouse Golem might just as well have stayed on the page.

Rating: 3/4 --
It translates novelist Peter Ackroyd's densely historical and cerebral foray into the horror genre into an entertainment, without being weighed down by Ackroyd's numerous fascinating but imaginative layers and tangents.

... this nasty little Victorian London horror film has more than a few blood-soaked charms of its own.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2.5/5 --
The major problem lies with the story's all-too playful tone which diminishes the story's impact and the film's overall lack of originality.

Marrying fact and fiction, Jane Goldman's seamy screenplay is wildly overstuffed; but the director, Juan Carlos Medina, gives the music hall scenes a rowdy authenticity.

Product Description:
In 1880 London, a police detective (Bill Nighy) investigates two intertwined cases: the hunt for a serial killer known as the "Limehouse Golem," and a murder mystery involving a famous actress (Olivia Cooke) who may have poisoned her husband (Sam Reid). Eddie Marsan co-stars. Directed by Juan Carlos Medina, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM was adapted by Jane Goldman (KICK-ASS) from a novel by Peter Ackroyd.
