Mini-review: The Hound Of The Baskervilles (1959)

The Hound Of The Baskervilles
Directed by Terence Fisher



A great vehicle for Peter Cushing to show off just how great of an actor he really is, this popular adaptation is one of the very best I've seen from the Sherlock Holmes catalog and features my favorite Holmes performance. An interesting story presented in a way that works far better as a film than as a novel, this movie has tension, twists, and some really great visuals to match the mysterious tone. Another solid effort from Hammer Films.

★★★★★★★☆☆☆
