Sinopsis(1)
Sobre la familia de los Baskerville pesa una letal maldición que va acabando con los cabecillas de la estirpe. La maldición proviene desde el siglo XVII, cuando el desalmado Hugo Baskerville fue asesinado por un fantasmal perro. Tras la muerte de Sir Charles Baskerville, su amigo Mortimer requiere los servicios del afamado investigador privado Sherlock Holmes y su fiel acompañante, el doctor Watson, para que investiguen el caso. Cuando llegan a la mansión familiar, conocen al nuevo anfitrión, Sir Henry, el último de los Baskerville recién llegado de África, al que deberán proteger. (Movistar+)

Studio Hammer used the horror potential of Doyle's novel to perhaps one hundred and ten percent, but fortunately they have not forgotten the detective story either and have mixed both in the right proportion so that the viewer does not get bored for even a second. Moreover, Peter Cushing is a great Holmes and André Morell a great Watson - not possible to write something similar about Christopher Lee.

Terence Fisher managed to steer the film excellently with the resources he had, especially with the actors that the studio was paying. It's the great performances by the actors that drive the story forward and create the necessary atmosphere of paranoia and fear, which are essential for the narrative. Moreover, there's the paranormal element that makes the story even more mysterious, and you're afraid that the dog will appear before you, and you'll finally see it in its terrifying beauty.

An atmospheric movie from Hammer studios which is rightly considered to be one of the best adaptation of Holmes’ adventures. A blot on the macabre landscape here is Peter Cushing who should have been a little less of a mundane Holmes, for my taste. Although I understand that to act decently in scenes when you are on set with Christopher Lee in his very best years is almost impossible, but Cushing shrinks away in them almost indecently. Despite playing absolutely wonderfully in many other situations. Otherwise, nothing to fault.
