This movie is a straightforward Holmes mystery, faithful enough to the source but uninspired in its telling.
Closest comparison: It’s like Terror by Night with the production values of Knights of the Round Table.
Setting: Cozy Mystery
Plot: Murder Mystery
Tone: Mystery Thriller
This is one of the worst representations of Sherlock Holmes I’ve seen. The core duo’s characterizations are all over the place, more caricature than character. The idea behind the mystery is halfway decent, but the execution and resolution are pitiful. It’s also overly long; you could legitimately start this film at 33:20 and not miss anything.
Closest comparison: It’s like Scooby Doo under the guise of Sherlock Holmes.
Setting: Mystery
Plot: Detective
Tone: Mystery
