It turned out I had seen this one before, but it had been  a few years, and I had forgotten a lot of the plot.  I haven't seen RIPPER: LETTERS FROM HELL, which it was the sequel to, but this movie worked as a stand alone horror film.  Here is an IMDB plot synopsis:

"The director of an asylum offers to the serial killer Molly Keller (Erin Karpluk) a chance to be submitted to a pilot unconventional experiment in Prague, in the Weisser Institute. Molly accepts, and she travels to the clinic, where Dr. Samuel Wiesser (Richard Bremmer) developed a treatment using a virtual world, and Molly and deranged youngsters would be trial subjects. However, something does not work well in the experiment, and when the patients die in their trip, the same happens in the real world. The explanation is a huge twist point in the very end of the story.

"Ripper 2: Letter from Within" is not so bad as indicated in IMDb User Rating. The ham actor Richard Bremmer is very funny with his horrible acting; there are many beautiful women and breasts; the death scenes, the special effects and the atmosphere are great for a B-movie; and the story has a great plot point in the end that makes a difference. I respect the other viewers' opinion, but I liked this slash movie. My vote is six."

This was a well-filmed movie, and the dream sequences in which Molly is chased by the huge, hooded form of the Reaper were quite scary.  The whole movie morphs in and out of a drug-induced dreamworld until you are never sure what is really happening and what isn't.  I found myself totally engrossed in it.  Has anyone else seen this one?

I liked this one, never seen the first one either though. Ripper 2 certainly had its entertaining and twisted moments. Bought this from the bargain bin and didn't regret  :thumbup:

I've got  copy in my "I haven't watched yet" pile ... which is getting huge with all this video store sales here lately. I'll have to check it out and see if I got my $2 worth.
