So there is a new Sherlock Holmes movie coming which means that every movie or series made in the past is going to start coming out of the woodwork in order to cash in. I myself have already reviewed two others and I’m sure there are many more out there. However the other two releases did have something going for them and that was being the first time released. These two movies though have been released at least 3 times previously.

“The House Of Fear” was release on its own in 2003, as part of “Sherlock Holmes Collection Volume Two” in 2003, and part of “The Complete Sherlock Holmes Collection” in 2006. “The Pearl Of Death” was also released in 2003 on its own and was on both the collections mentioned above.

The DVD does brag it is restored in 35MM; but it does not appear to be cleaned up at all. The picture is shaky, graining, and often dark. No bonus features accompany this release, though some of the past releases of the movies did include bonuses. Personally I would suggest to fans of the Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes to buy one of the complete collections as you will not only get these two movies but several others and possibly some bonus features.
