Movie Review: Murder and much more in “THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM”

With its opening scene of a 19th-century drag performer introducing us to the story of the Limehouse Golem, and the great swell of Johan Söderqvist’s (LET THE RIGHT ONE IN) music behind the main title, it’s clear that THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM intends to be a ripping yarn in the great British tradition. While that approach leans more toward melodrama than horror, it’s rich and lush enough to be enjoyed by anyone with a taste for full-blooded decadence.
