Critic Reviews:

• “One of the more imaginative Sherlock Holmes films.” – Ozus' World Movie Reviews

• “A fond homage to the heyday of Hammer Studio, and a canny transmuting of Victorian Britannia to the tail end of the politicized '70s” – CinePassion

• “Plummer and Mason together make one of cinema's great – certainly the most touching – Holmes-Watson teams. Ripperologists will be pleased by how faithful the script is to historical incidents and persons involved.” – DVDJournal.com
