film directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg, produced by independent American film studio The Asylum
and released by British distributor Revolver Entertainment
. It is based on the Sherlock Holmes
characters created by British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Torchwood
star Gareth David Lloyd plays Dr. John Watson and Ben Syder (making his film debut) plays Sherlock Holmes. The film is a mockbuster
intended to capitalise upon the 2009 film of the same name
directed by Guy Ritchie
, and is the second film by The Asylum to be inspired by the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The film was shot in Caernarfon
, Wales
on a low budget. The Asylum had previously used the same locations to film Merlin and the War of the Dragons
.
The film details the "chronicle of [Holmes's] greatest accomplishment" in which famous detective Sherlock Holmes
(Ben Syder, making his film debut) and his companion Dr. Watson
(Gareth David Lloyd) investigate a string of unusual monster attacks that defy belief, before stumbling on Spring-Heeled Jack's plot to destroy London and assassinate the Queen. The film has been shown on the Syfy channel in the United Kingdom
. The film is also available on iTunes
.
in London
in 1940 (World War II
). An elderly and very unwell Dr. John Watson
(David Shackleton) tells his nurse the tale of his most complex adventure with Sherlock Holmes
(Ben Syder), which he and Holmes vowed never to tell the public or adapt into one of Watson's famous journals
.
Several incidents in 1882 lead to the consulting-detective Sherlock Holmes investigating with aid from his companion, Dr. Watson (Gareth David-Lloyd). They investigate a ship carrying gold which was destroyed by a mythical giant octopus on the coast of Newhaven
. They do not believe the first-hand accounts of the sole survivor of the attack (Neil Williams), but nonetheless investigate. When investigating the remains of the ship on the coast, Holmes is told by Inspector Lestrade
that he has recently had contact with his estranged brother Thorpe.
In Whitechapel
, a young man is killed by a small Tyrannosaurus rex. Watson doesn't believe article about the monster until he and Holmes are on a walk in some woods, and the dinosaur appears and chases them. Finding escape, they come across several more clues that make Holmes believe the monsters are artificial, built by a criminal genius. On the case, the dinosaur steals a water pump operating a fountain and much copper wire, raising questions as to what the creature's inventor is trying to achieve. The octopus that destroyed the ship earlier is linked to the dinosaur because they are both similarly "exceptionally improbable". Lestrade is also investigating the crimes and stalks Holmes and Watson on their mission to solve the mysteries. On one of their leads, Lestrade ends up missing. Holmes's astounding logic leads himself and Watson to an old castle in Helmsmouth he and his brother visited as children. They come across another monster, a mechanical man: Spring-Heeled Jack.
The person under the mask is revealed to be Holmes' brother, Thorpe and Miss Ivory, his accomplice, is with him. Thorpe explains that the crimes were committed to make an armory that would keep him alive from the bullet wedged in his spine. All the tools his monsters stole, the gold, the water pump and the copper wire all contributed to the creation of his suit. He plans to destroy London and force Lestrade, who he believes shot him years ago, to take the blame. Holmes tries to attack Thorpe, only to be shot and presumably killed by Miss Ivory.
Miss Ivory is revealed to be one of Thorpe's robotic creations (and his lover), and Thorpe has placed a bomb in her workings that will detonate when she reaches Buckingham Palace
, home of Queen Victoria, while Thorpe pilots his most complex invention yet, a fire-breathing dragon in which he pilots and holds Lestrade hostage. Holmes returns, having survived the gunshot as his tobacco box in his pocket stopped the bullet. Watson is sent to stop Miss Ivory from assassinating the Queen, while Holmes pilots another one of Thorpe's inventions, a hot-air balloon driven by helicopter
propellers and armed with guns, in an attempt to stop his brother.
Thorpe sets fire to Parliament and Westminster Abbey
in his battle with his brother. Ivory is deactivated by Watson moments before the explosion can take place and Thorpe's dragon is sent crashing in the garden outside the Palace. Thorpe crawls from the wreckage and tries to shoot Watson, before he himself is killed by Sherlock Holmes. Lestrade, as usual, takes credit for solving the case. Holmes and Watson vow never to speak of the events again, because of how it personally affected Holmes and his certainty that the world isn't ready.
In present time, Watson dies and his nurse visits his grave. She sees Miss Ivory visiting the grave of Thorpe Holmes, questioning her thoughts that the story is false.
? Maybe they can take it a step further and have Holmes' cocaine habit affect him in much the same way as Popeye
's spinach."
Reviews of the film have been mixed, with the majority being positive. Steve Anderson of Screenhead.com called it "one of The Asylum's better movies", adding: "Many of The Asylum's earlier efforts have proven somewhat, well, unpleasant, but this time around we've actually got something downright entertaining." Fangoria
' s review said that "Rachel Lee Goldenberg's direction is well-paced, and the action, especially a lengthy climactic sequence, is pretty exciting", concluding: "It's probably the best Asylum film to date, and worthwhile for anyone who is willing to check reality at the door and just enjoy the silly ride."
Jay Seaver of eFilmCritic said that "the film has its good points as a steampunk
adventure" and that Goldenberg is "pretty good with the action and pacing", but criticized Ben Syder's Holmes, concluding: "Maybe a better Holmes would have allowed this movie to more squarely hit the mark, as it otherwise does surprisingly well by playing its outlandish premise fairly straight." HorrorTalk.com' s review said, "This conveniently timed release of Sherlock Holmes will never be confused with the Hollywood blockbuster
, but neither will it disappoint fans of the low-budget adventure."
. The DVD features the full-length film and extras like a making-of feature called Exile on Baker Street: A Behind-the-scenes look at Sherlock Holmes, the official trailer and bloopers from filming. The DVD was given a 12 rating in the UK. The Syfy channel broadcasts the film under the full title Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and usually cuts out some of the bloodier violence for daytime viewers.

Reception
Sherlock Holmes was met with skepticism immediately upon the announcement of its pending release. The horror film website Dread Central criticized the plot synopsis, which indicated that Holmes would be facing "enormous monsters" attacking London.
