Wissenswertes
The shot of the "grim old house perched high upon a cliff on the west coast of Scotland" was also used in Die Stimme des Terrors (1942). The house in the shot could not possibly be the Alastair home because, firstly, it is a church and not a house, and, secondly, close inspection reveals that the front of the house is in ruins.

Patzer
As the murders took place in Scotland, a local policeman would have been sent to the crime scene, not Inspector Lestrade from London. The local constabulary contacted Scotland Yard/Inspector Lestrade at the behest of Sherlock Holmes. It is unlikely a policeman would have been sent from London to the north of Scotland during wartime, even at the request of Sherlock Holmes.

Zitate
Sherlock Holmes: Murder is an insidious thing, Watson. Once a man has dipped his fingers in blood, sooner or later he'll feel the urge to kill again.

Rather spooky Sherlock Holmes mystery

Sherlock Holmes and the House of Fear recently came on BBC2 and one of the reviews in the TV listings says this was one of the poorer Bathbone Holmes movies. I disagree and this is one of the better ones and certainly one of the creepiest.

In this one, Holmes and Watson are sent to Scotland to investigate a series of murders in a rather creepy and remote mansion, Drearcliff House. The Good Comrades Club are dining here and it looks like somebody has it in for these men, as more are killed and Dr Watson nearly becomes a victim of this killer too. One clue regarding these murders is orange pips. The investigation then takes Holmes into a secret passage leading to the basement of Drearcliff House...

This is very spooky in parts, helped by the howling wind and nighttime scenes and the location of the mansion.

As usual, Basil Rathobone is joined by Nigel Bruce as Dr Watson and the rest of the cast includes Dennis Hoey, Paul Cavanagh and Holmes Herbert.

This is a must for everyone Sherlock Holmes fan. One of the best of the series.

Rating: 3 and a half stars out of 5.
