I thought that this movie was pretty good. It was pretty typical of any horror movie that has come out in the last 10 years but it was still pretty okay. If you enjoyed House on Haunted Hill (Remake) or Thir13en Ghosts (Remake) then you will probably like this movie. The beginning and the middle were the best the end was pretty much expected. Ethan Embry gave a very excellent performance as one of the people being stalked by "They" and the rest of the performances were fine but nothing special. There are mostly cheap jump out of your seat scares and no real suspense but the movie will still probably make you jump. The special effects are pretty good but luckily the only time that you get to see "They" it is pretty dark and this covers up most of the blemishes with the CG. I gave this a 9/10 -- typical horror film for 2002.

First off I should mention that I had never before seen an adaptation for The Hound of the Baskervilles before so I cannot compare to other films. I thought that this movie was very excellent. I saw a trailer for it today on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and I knew that I would have to stay up and watch it. I was totally not dissapointed. Richard Roxbough (Moulin Rouge!) plays Sherlock Holmes in this adaptation and he was wonderful. He had all the right moves for Sherlock and as always he acted excellently. I should also mention that for a made for TV film it appeared to have quite large production values which show throughout. The acting was great throughout and I can't remember one bad performance. I would recommend everyone to watch this film if you are looking for a good mystery.
Okay, when I first heard of this film I was quite skeptical. Although I had enjoyed other SK miniseries' I did not believe that anything could make the haunted house horror films good again. I, however, was totally wrong. This film is great, it had action and horror and the acting was surperb. Julian Sands was excellent as he always is and the others were good too. The only thing that I did not like was the little girl who "woke up" the house. I do not like child actors if only for the simple fact that very little of them can actually act, this girl was no exception. Other than that it was a great film.
