It's the classic story of Sherlock Holmes (Matt Frewer) and his best friend Dr. Watson (Kenneth Welsh) in turn of the century England. A demonic hound is rumored to be terrorizing the countryside which Holmes dismisses. Sir Henry Baskerville (Jason London) convinces them to investigate the death of his uncle Sir Charles Baskerville blamed on the mysterious curse.
This is a Canadian adaptation of the classic tale. The production value is fair for a TV movie. It doesn't have the best style. I'm sure they filmed this in the Canadian countryside which doesn't always have an England vibe. They do a bit of fog and some stone works with small buildings. It's too much forest and too wilderness. It doesn't feel like the moors. Mostly, this rests on the actors. Welsh is more than up to the task. The veteran saves this movie and he has the bigger role. Watson does most of the investigating in this version. Frewer feels a little light in the role. Jason London is too modern in his character. Overall, this is fine but it's nothing special.
