The premise
Eccentric consulting detective Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson battle to bring down a new nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy England.
Horror Vault's take
Robert Downey Jr. brings a brawling, razor-minded Sherlock Holmes to Victorian London, where he and the long-suffering Dr. Watson find themselves entangled in a case steeped in dark ritual and seemingly supernatural menace. When a shadowy figure with apparent occult powers sets his sights on all of England, Holmes must pit cold logic against forces that defy easy explanation. Equal parts detective thriller and action-adventure, this blockbuster reimagining crackles with sharp wit and period atmosphere.
