hands of the ripper (1971)

Eric Porter is a Dr who discovers violent tendencies in a young girl and takes her on as a patient. He comes to believe her possessed by her dead father's spirit, that compels her to kill. Angharad Rees stars as the daughter of someone with a peculiar talent in murder, Jack the Ripper, and who may have taken up fathers hobby.
An often overlooked Hammer, that slowly delves into the psychology of killing, but none the less manages to pack a few shocks along the way. A Pygmalian for the slasher generation
that deserves a look.
