A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.

美丽国网大也是这水平嘛～讲诉烂片是怎么拍成的烂片，全方位讽刺，包括自己，也是笑了
没预告片精彩！平平无奇吧，没多大意思。充其量一部枯燥的喜剧片。当初也是冲着snl几位卡司来看的，然后为了对snl的几位卡司表示支持，我给四星。
孩子是真可爱，辣妈是真漂亮，反派是真弱鸡，剧情是真的不在线。
太难看了，怎么会这么难看……而且也不好笑，我呆坐两小时就为了看这……漂亮老婆都没法救这电影了
所以 又觉醒了 别一种 个性吗 ？！
哈哈哈，真滴真滴不好看，小成本电影，剧情也没啥新意。
作为一个已经封闭了一个月的上海市民 看这片真是感觉银幕内外形成了一种近乎荒谬的互文 Freedom is the fuck out of here！（That‘s the cocaine talking right there.
就如果当成正儿八经的电影看可能会，what the hell各种迷惑，不过，如果全片都当成一个阴阳怪气各种讽刺自黑的话，还是蛮开心的，irony不仅仅的是plot里面几个character也是，尤其是找个tiktok大户然后做些脑残跳舞行为，太阴阳怪气了，还有那个恐龙life的life也是life，然后还突然就驯龙摸起来了，然后又跳舞，damn，换成其他电影如果这样出TikTok我一定会血压升高爆炸的，不过这个讽刺的话，乐呵乐呵，另外就是这里面演员客串真的太多了，阿帕图还是有人脉呀。这里面还有一个就是，隔离期间那个sex的桥段，真的是，我看好几对演员这俩年不是结婚就是生崽了，damn。另外就是，我还是喜欢阿帕图的性喜剧，这个嘛，不够欢乐
反人类的漫画家，全人类的公敌，不知悔改，去死吧。
说什么宗教隐喻，圣经里直接夹钱，太赤裸裸了吧，就是圣经版黄金屋呗
和正剧实习的剧情连上值得好评，可惜还是落不了剧场版的俗套
很少有让我觉得难看得看不下去的电影 原谅我没看完就来打星 我只是想标记一下自己的感受
太适合现在的上海看了蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤，PabloPascal太好笑了蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤蛤
非常适合疫情被封的时候看，就是要拍得又臭又长才能让人感同身受。
还真是某种意义上的网飞自黑了 笑点还是有 就是再紧凑点就好了 这种主题配上这种时常很难不让人觉得疲软了
毒品可以改变你的一生，所以珍爱生命远离毒品
pedro对tiktok dance热情好高
毒品可以改变你的一生，所以珍爱生命远离毒品
轻松的无脑喜剧，很多段子都挺好的歌舞我觉得也很有意思，台词挺有梗的，还有很多大牌明星客串总体还不错。6.9/10
作为反映时下疫情的应季片子，真的被居家隔离了看还挺有趣的，很多评论都说和《不要抬头》一样，但是我觉得比不要抬头还差很多。
