Product Description

SHERLOCK HOLMES MOST TERRIFYING ADVENTURE!

Sherlock Holmes is the most filmed character of all time but it is arguably this 1959 re-telling of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle s classic tale The Hound of the Baskervilles, from legendary horror studio Hammer and starring genre stalwarts Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, which stands as the super sleuth s finest cinematic hour.

Rising up out of the swirling mists of Dartmoor, Baskerville Hall stands tall and gloomy. Its occupant, Charles Baskerville, has been found dead in mysterious circumstances. Could Sir Charles have been the victim of the so-called Baskerville Curse , which tells of a deadly beast that stalks the surrounding countryside? Unperturbed by the legend, next-in-line Sir Henry Baskerville (a rare leading man performance from Lee) sets out to Dartmoor to assume inheritance of the family estate, under the auspices of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and right-hand man Dr. Watson (Andre Morell).

Imbued with an atmosphere as thick as fog, The Hound of the Baskervilles is a superlative gothic yarn which benefits from game performances from Cushing, Lee and Morell, as well as the expert direction of Terence Fisher, known for helming many of Hammer s most celebrated efforts including The Curse of Frankenstein, Dracula and The Devil Rides Out.

4.0 out of 5 starsArrow's Blu-ray presents a nice overall package, with minor imperfections
By Dallison on 31 May 2015
Format: Blu-ray
Blu Ray Review
The Hound of the Baskervilles 1959 Directed by Terence Fisher, Starring Peter Cushing, André Morell and Christopher Lee. Arrow Blu-Ray release date: 1st June 2015

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic tale The Hound of the Baskervilles, is a thrilling story that has stood the test of time. Featuring London’s super sleuth Sherlock Holmes, this adventure sees him travel to Dartmoor’s Baskerville Hall where Charles Baskerville, has been found dead and under mysterious circumstances. As cinema’s most filmed character of all time - Sherlock Holmes movies have acquired something of a unique place in history. One might perhaps think back to the days of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in order to recapture their first encounter of this classic filmed adventure. Hammer Studios had begun to revisit these classic horrors and thrillers throughout the mid to late Fifties, with filmed projects such as The Curse of Frankenstein and Dracula. So it was perhaps no surprise that the studio picked up The Hound of the Baskervilles and splashed it with their own distinctive and original blend of Hammer style.

Hammer’s The Hound of the Baskervilles was the first filmed version to be shot in vivid colour. Everything is bathed with sumptuous textures from hunting red riding costumes to splendid tweed suits and rich wooden panelling. So with all things considered, there was perhaps an overall expectancy that this should look positively beautiful after being afforded the Blu-ray treatment. Well, in some ways the upgrade works, but not without some minor troubles.

Arrow’s Blu-ray is still probably the best I have seen on any home video format, but that shouldn’t really surprise anybody.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA fine Hammer mystery
By A Mr. Diaz on 24 Oct. 2015
Format: Blu-ray
Master sleuth Sherlock Holmes (Peter Cushing) and his aide Watson (Andre Morell) are engaged to investigate the strange death of Sir Charles Baskerville, the latest in a long line of victims of his family's terrible 'curse'. Watching over the last in the family's line, Sir Henry (Christopher Lee), Holmes ventures onto the forbidding Dartmoor moors to unravel the enigma of the demon hound.

The first Holmes adventure in colour, Conan Doyle's most popular story gets the Hammer treatment: blood, boobage and atmosphere. The film very effectively creates a sinister atmosphere of dark mansions, foggy moors and the monstrous howl in the depths of night, while ramping up the violence from the original story (including maulings, burning, attempted rape and a cave in), though never to the point of cheap exploitation and tastelessness, but in fact enhancing the Gothic ambiance Hammer is known for.

What classes up the production, first off, is the great cast: Cushing is a near pitch perfect Holmes from the page: mercurial, thorough and a touch arrogant but always aware of the bigger picture and the risks involved. Morrell, the first new screen Watson since Nigel Bruce, ditches the classic bumbling for a stout and reserved military man who, though not as bright as Holmes, is still capable and determined to the case. Lee is in a rare sympathetic role as the last Baskerville, and gives it a fitting aristocratic bearing while making him more down to earth and even a touch bolshy.

The second key point is a mostly tight screenplay that effectively condenses Doyle's story without making it a less compelling mystery that straddles the line of the supernatural very well.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsHouse of Holmes and Hounds
By Inspector Gadget VINE VOICE on 28 Mar. 2016
Format: Blu-ray
Hound of the Baskervilles is probably the most filmed adaptation of Conan-Doyle's Sherlock Holmes lore. There are literally dozens of HOTB adaptations across movies, TV, plays, mini-series, and even video games. There's not much one can do with the material to keep it interesting and fresh, but Terence Fisher mixes up a few of the elements as best as he can, which might have some Holmes purists crying foul.

Holmes and Watson are called away to the gloomy moors of Dartmoor where a giant hellhound has been tormenting the dwindling numbers of the Baskerville family. Sir Henry has recently moved in after a number of years living in Africa and his weak heart is about to pack in as the rumors intensify.

Watson takes over for the beginning of the case as Holmes vanishes to sleuth on his own. For anyone who has read the novel or seen any of the previous movies all of this will be so far so familiar, as are the next two acts. What this Hammer production does offer is some nice production design and a few striking shots. Peter Cushing is good as Holmes while Andre Morell, displeased with Nigel Bruce's interpretation of Watson, brings a serious edge to the character.

As the first Sherlock Holmes movie made in color it does look very slick and it's never boring. It just fails to bring anything truly new to the table. Though I would have liked to see Hammer take this series further. Sadly, the movie underperformed and they did not.

The Blu-ray looks good in 1.66:1 1080p. Previous releases have all looked terrible and, short of an extensive 8k restoration, this is the best HOTB will ever look, just don't expect perfection. The sound is PCM 1.0.Read more ›
