The Der Hund von Baskerville Phenomenon

This 1914 cult classic stands as a testament to push the boundaries of conventional storytelling.

In this early version the classic "Hound of the Baskervilles" mystery is not faithfully adapted, Watson's character is absent and there are two Holmes. Holmes' foe is called Stapleton and he menaces Holmes' client Lord Henry and his fiancée, Laura Lyons, masquerading himself as Holmes. Hidden passages, hand bombs and mechanical devices abound, reminding more of a serial than of a Conan Doyle story.

Stylistic Legacy

The influence of Rudolf Meinert in Der Hund von Baskerville can be felt in the way modern cult films handle unique vision. From the specific lighting choices to the pacing, this 1914 release set a high bar for atmospheric immersion.
