The film blends thriller , suspense , detective action , terror and a little gore and is quite interesting .The movie displays a first-rate set design and is very atmospheric . The shady and spooky slums are pretty well designed . Some shots create creepy and horror moments . In the flick appears the usual of the Arthur Conan Doyle's novels : Mycroft (Sherlock's brother), Mistress Hudson , and of course Doctor Watson. Acting by John Neville as Sherlock Holmes is excellent , likeness to Peter Cushing and Jeremy Brett as TV Sherlock ; furthermore Donald Huston as Watson is sublime . Other notorious secondary actors appearing are as follows : John Fraser , Anthony Quayle ,Barbara Windsor , Cecil Parker , Georgia Brown , Barry Jones , Robert Morley , Adrienne Corri and a young Judi Dench , all of them are splendid .

The picture was competently directed by James Hill . He was an expert on children films and serials for showing at schoolboy cinema . Hill designed his acquaintance with amusements for the young generation and costume adventures blending with Lions (Born free , The lions are free , The lion at world's end) , Horses (Black Beauty) , Foxes (The Belstone Fox) , Elephants ( An Elephant called Slowly) and sea animals as Sharks and Squid like this ¨Captain Nemo and underwater city¨. ¨Born Free¨ remains his triumph in which the way the protagonists romp with three lionesses who play Elsa at several stages of growth is near-miraculous . Forever in search of a similar movie to equal this hit , he never quite found it . James Hill best movie turned out to be this¨Studio in terror¨ a Sherlock versus Jack Ripper terror thriller with lurid killings . Rating: 7 , above average . Well worth seeing .
