Henry: “Mr Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound.”
Mark
Gatiss and 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' should have made perfect
bedfellows. His childhood passion for Holmes, his extensive writing
experience, and his love of classic horror, should have produced a
script beyond compare. Sadly, he was cursed with the misfortune of
following Stephen Moffat. Compared to 'A Scandal in Belgravia', 'The
Hounds of Baskerville' was less complex, less exciting, and ultimately
less rewarding. Conversely, it was beautifully filmed, contained some great
dialogue, and perfectly captured the spirit of the original story. And
it most definitely had chills.
