A fiendish evil lurks beneath the mist-shrouded cliffs of England's fabled moors. In the form of a hellish hound, it feeds upon the trembling flesh of the heirs of Baskerville Hall. But before this savage beast can sink its teeth into the newest lord of the manor, it must pit its vicious fangs against the searing intellect of the most powerful foe it has ever encountered: the incomparable Sherlock Holmes!

As said by another reviewer here, not the most faithful version to the original Conan Doyle story. Spoiler alert has one scene not for those with a spider phobia

Cushing and Lee in the same movie this is sick. Two British heavy hitters such as this and both acclaimed actors. Haven't seen thus in a long while since the 70's and now it's the new 2000's. Though I am partial to Basil Rathbone the lead role, Cushing/Lee great. If memory serves, they both played Count Dracula as well not as well as Lugosi and no one ever will.

This isn't the most faithful version of Hound of the Baskervilles, but it is the most fun. Hammer added 1950s gore and heaving bosoms, but the great combination of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing elevate it. Absolutely great.
