First off, I have never really been a fan of Sherlock Holmes. Actually, the only time I have been exposed to Holmes was on Star Trek the Next Generation's holodeck. Yeah, I know - I need to get out more often. I have never seen or read any adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles. So with that being said, this is truly a great film. Yes, I have read about the changes to the story and all that fluff, but the actors and director do a bloody good job. The story is compelling and intriguing all at the same time. The atmosphere and the mood are set appropriately dark and gloomy - which just adds the supernatural feel. Great TV film that may have been served better in a darkened theater. My score: 7/10!
