Sherlock Holmes investigates some mysterious deaths that the local townspeople believe to be the work of a vampire. They think they know who the vampire is, too, but Holmes suspects they're wrong and seeks a more rational solution. Most vampire movies, you know who the vampire is and you're just watching and wondering how many necks he'll bite before he steps out into the sun or gets a wooden stake through the heart. This one's a mystery and keeps you guessing. Jeremy Brett makes a stuffy Sherlock - he played the role on British television for about ten years - and Roy Marsden as the alleged vampire resembles Richard E. Grant just enough to make you wonder what Grant could do as Dracula.
