/100
While it uses Gothic mood, suspense, and a fearsome hound to heighten tension, the film's core identity is Holmesian detective investigation rather than a pure horror experience. Horror elements are meaningful but not fundamental.
DREADPICK SUMMARY
Best for viewers looking for a light on scares, atmosphere-heavy, slow-burning and low-gore horror movie.
