The Hound of the Baskervilles Review

A Baskervilles that, in true Hammer fashion, leans into the gothic horror elements embedded in the original novel while adding some lurid flourishes of its own (a tarantula attack and the addition of some creepy abbey ruins are especially good). The central mystery is flattened and less satisfying than a more faithful adaptation would be, but in its place is more danger, more suspense, and more atmosphere. I had a great time, and with Peter Cushing as Holmes how can you go wrong?
