For a tale that has been told on film and television countless times, Der Hund von Baskerville feels startlingly fresh. Its style rooted is in German Expressionism, the film is a moody thriller filled with deep shadows, off-kilter camera angles, and imposing, gothic sets. Figures creep up eerie staircases, their shadows thrown up against the wall like Nosferatu, and the mist-shrouded moor where the titular hound claims its victims is appropriately chilling. In short, this is one of the finest adaptations of the story ever produced for film. Doyle purists may balk at some of the film’s liberties with the original story, but Oswald’s haunting take on the material gives it an appropriately mysterious sheen. Carlyle Blackwell’s Holmes is dashing and mysterious, while George Seroff’s Watson has a few amusing moments of comic relief as the old Baskerville mansion creaks in the night.
