痛失至亲后，一家人搬到了城里，30年后，大家在故乡重聚，而埋藏的感情和痛苦的秘密也重新浮现
Sir Charles Baskerville dies at the entrance of his manor, and Doctor Mortimer says he died of natural causes. However, when telling Sherlock Holmes of the case, he feels Sir Charles' death was a result of a centuries old curse that runs in the Baskerville family, which Dr. Mortimer feels will strike at Sir Charles nephew, Sir Henry, who is arriving to claim the Baskerville estate. Holmes sends Dr. Watson in his place, along with Dr. Mortimer and Sir Henry, to the manor and for Watson to keep an eye out for any suspicious actions. Immediately after arriving, Watson notices the queer occurrences at the estate and surrounding moors, and sends Holmes reports of what is going on concerning the life of Sir Henry. Will Holmes arrive in time to unravel the mystery, and who is responsible for Sir Charles' death and the attempted murder of Sir Henry? Is it Dr. Mortimer, neighbor Stapleton, butler Barryman, harmless old Frankland, a mysterious wild man, or is there a curse on the Baskerville family? Very good opening entry in the Rathbone-Bruce Holmes series (even though this film lacks qualities of any ongoing entries.) The film could have been a bit more darker and foreboding (the film does have a movie studio set feel) and have an ending with a little more confrontation to it, but it does provide for much fun. The romantic scenes with Greene and Barrie have little spark, but there are very good red herring performances by the cast, which is a plus for this movie. Rating, 8.
维吉妮亚·马德森饰演的学者海伦，正在研究一个流行于美国民间的传说：只要对着镜子连续五次念出“糖果人"的名字，就会出现一个右手带着铁钩的阴魂跑到世上取人性命。海伦来到芝加哥展开实地调查，一连串被铁钩致命的谋杀案亦陆续发生，最后发现那个传说的真相，原来是一名黑人因为跟白人小 姐相恋而遭砍断手掌，身上被涂抹上蜂蜜，令他在断气前饱受蜂螫之痛，故意报复杀人。 幕后： 本片与一般纯粹卖弄杀人场面的血腥恐布片有点不同，编导伯纳德·罗斯针对主角“糖果人"的悲惨遭遇，反映出“黑人受到的不公平待遇"是造成仇恨报复的主因，主题发人深省。影片中的往事部分拍得颇为抒情，跟现代的血腥凶杀形成鲜明对比。
