Jack the Ripper comes to America in Terror at London Bridge. The original London Bridge has been relocated to Lake Havasu in the middle of the Arizona desert. When the last stone is placed, it triggers a curse and the Ripper murders begin to repeat in the same pattern, on the same dates, and in the same ways.

Don Gregory (David Hasselhoff) came to the Arizona desert for a slower pace. Haunted by a shooting on his previous job with the Chicago Police Department, he wanted a job with little action. Lake Havasu, with its low crime rate, seemed ideal. Before he can get settled in, he has a tourist's murder on his hands.

City officials don't want news of a murder to hurt their tourism. They demand the investigation to be closed immediately. Gregory finds himself fighting the officials and his supervisor as he tries to catch the killer. They want to blame a drifter, but Gregory feels certain that this was no drifter. As evidence piles up, he becomes convinced that he is pursuing Jack the Ripper. The city officials call him a crazy, burned-out, big-city cop and refuse to believe anything he has to say.

Gregory's partner, Joe Nez (Randy Mantooth), is caught between wanting to believe his partner and trying to keep his partner out of trouble with the powers that be.

Angie (Stephanie Kramer) discovers the first body and forms a friendship-growing-into-romance with Gregory. She, too, struggles to believe his wild theory about the Ripper murders. Meanwhile, Angie's best friend, Lynn (Adrienne Barbeau) is being romanced by a tall, dark, handsome British stranger who claims to be a re-enactor with the city's historical village.

The casting lined up major stars who know how to bring out the character in a role. A quick scan of these names should be enough to tell you that the roles are well-acted and there is plenty of chemistry between the actors.

I really like the photography in this film. They don't go for anything unusual or outrageous. Instead, they give you excellent quality.

This concrete storyline gets you on the edge of your seat. It is that kind of horror with little blood and gore, but a high level of psychological terror -- in the style of the old horror movies. This is one of those movies that will make you jump and scream if there is a noise or sudden movement in the room while you're watching it.

Terror at London Bridge deserved a lot more attention than what it got. It's one of my favorite sleepers. If you like to feel scared without seeing a lot of blood and gore, this movie should suit you quite nicely. I love it.
