The Hound of the
Baskervilles (1959)
Directed by Terence
Fisher this film based on the novel of the same name stars Peter
Cushing, Christopher Lee, Andre Morell and Marla Landi. Sherlock
Holmes is hired to protect a country lord from a family curse.
Generally this film
sticks roughly to the plot of the original story with a few changes
which I am not sure add to the story but do not detract either. The
plot itself is fairly average and fits in well with the other Hammer
Horror films of the period. What is slightly disappointing is the
direction never really has much of a horror edge to it and the dog in
a mask is pretty obviously done on the cheap.
3/5
