The black and white Sherlock Holmes films have a fantastic atmosphere and Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce make a great Holmes and Watson pairing.
The House of Fear is a strong entry in the series containing atmosphere, suspense, moments of comedy and of course the small matter of guessing who is behind the murders.
You can pick holes in the plot if you are like and some of the actions taken by the victims and Holmes and Watson don't always ring true. However this film is never anything other than entertaining with strong performances from a fine cast.
