REVIEWS:

"Sherlock Holmes Faces Death and The House Of Fear are two
Holmes films that are very similar. Which is probably why they are two
of my favorite titles in this 14-movie Holmes series. Both of those films
feature eerie old houses, dark scenery, stormy nights, various murders,
and a host of assorted strange characters roaming the hallways of these
respective mysterious dwellings. .... And if you ever play a game of
'human chess' with Mr. Holmes, just make sure you don't have a
secret burial crypt underneath your chess board that you want to
keep hidden. Because that Sherlock guy is one smart cookie."
