Review – Sherlock Holmes and the House of Fear

After a string of “original” plots, this Holmes flick is actually based on a story by Arthur Conan Doyle. A group of gentlemen pool their life insurance into sort of a tontine. So really it should have come as a surprise to none of them when they start to die one by one, each murder heralded by an envelope of orange seeds. The final twist has a somewhat illogical Murder on the Orient Express flavor, but otherwise it’s a decent outing. Mildly amusing
