THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (BLU-RAY)

“The best Sherlock Holmes film ever made, and one of Hammer’s finest movies…Cushing gives one of his very best performances, ably supported by Morell…Lee is in equally good form as the Baskerville heir, and Jack Asher’s muted Technicolor photography is superb.” - Time Out London

“With sensitive direction and a sumptuous look that defies its modest budget, this is perhaps the best version of Hound of the Baskervilles on film, with the fastidious Peter Cushing making a consummate Sherlock Holmes, and Christopher Lee in one of his few appearances as a leading man.” - Glenn Erickson, DVD Talk

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous story gets the gorgeously gothic Hammer treatment in The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959), starring Peter Cushing as a wry and brilliant Sherlock Holmes, Andre Morell as an unusually sensible Dr. Watson, and Christopher Lee as Sir Henry Baskerville, seemingly threatened by a ghastly family curse. Horror stalwart Terence Fisher directs, and James Bernard provides the atmospheric music.
