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. - JohnHowardReid, imdb

The world is on fire, and one man does everything he can to avoid facing the impending apocalypse alone in this atmospheric zombie drama about the fear of losing everything you hold dear. In a remote house in the countryside, a man lives with his parrot and a mysterious creature locked in a cage, which he carefully feeds a daily ration of raw meat. While he tends to his chores in what appears to be a slow, steady routine, the world outside is falling apart as a mysterious virus spreads among humanity. All it takes is one unguarded moment for the fragile sense of security in the small house to shatter. Malin Dahl (Lantisar, 2019) has crafted a multilayered story of grief, beautifully captured through stunning cinematography—a must-see for fans of John Ajvide Lindqvist and existential zombie films.
在一个滂沱大雨的夜晚，辣手干探Chul-jung在监视行动中突然人有三急，却找不到「解决」的地方。当他躲在灯柱完成「解决」后，一个穿著雨衣的神秘男人与他擦身而过。Chul-jung认为此人形迹可疑，上前查问，突然间神秘男子手中的利刀一闪而过，Chul-jung眼角流血，神秘男人亦瞬即不见了踪影。 一星期后，Chul-jung驻守的地区发生了一宗凶杀案。死者是一对年老的夫妇，警方发现他们是被捅多刀致死的，现场亦留下了行凶的凶器。可是，大家对这宗案件仍毫无头绪。Chul-jung仔细观察尸体，突然想起当晚曾在雨中被神秘男人击倒的事，并认得凶器和那个男人手持的刀一样。Chul-jung因此锁定了那个男人便是杀人凶手。 经过连番调查，Chul-jung直觉认为投资公司顾问Kyu-hwan的嫌疑最大，可是却苦无证据。Chul-jung利用了自己的职权，不顾一切的派员跟踪Kyu-hwan，甚至不惜任何代价，都要令Kyu-hwan露出马脚，找到杀人的证据。然而，Kyu-hwan亦并非等闲之辈，他利用了自己的权势，令Chul-jung被降职，以求令Chul-jung停止对自己的滋扰。就在这时，另一宗谋杀案又发生了，手法跟第一宗亦一模一样…… 全片充满北野武式的暴力影像与黑色幽默，血液喷涌的枪伤、利刃狂插的杀人场景，在怵目惊心之余，也质疑所谓公理正义的真谛。
