The film is based on the 1994 Peter Ackroyd novel Dan Leno and the Limehouse Golem. It tells the story of a series of murders that shook the community to its core. As the case drags on, people start to believe it is a creature of legend, the golem, that committed these crimes. It is up to a police inspector (bill Nighy) to solve the mystery and put a face to this so-called legend.

The movie is set to release September 1 in the UK.
