这天，美国纽约附近出现了一些异常现象：太平洋上的海浪速度超乎寻常地惊人、巴哈马巨大的原始森林里竟然出现了一个类似恐龙脚印的巨大痕迹、动物们都惊慌失措，仿佛一股巨大的力量正向纽约席卷而来。原来，世界上频繁的核试验引起的核辐射导致了气候异常和最终导致岛上蜥蜴变异。现在，它正以越来越快的步伐向纽约逼近。这下，所有的人都慌了神，美国全国的所有力量都联合了起来，目的只有一个，就是在它踏入纽约前将它干掉！

Sir Charles Baskerville dies at the entrance of his manor, and Doctor Mortimer says he died of natural causes. However, when telling Sherlock Holmes of the case, he feels Sir Charles' death was a result of a centuries old curse that runs in the Baskerville family, which Dr. Mortimer feels will strike at Sir Charles nephew, Sir Henry, who is arriving to claim the Baskerville estate. Holmes sends Dr. Watson in his place, along with Dr. Mortimer and Sir Henry, to the manor and for Watson to keep an eye out for any suspicious actions. Immediately after arriving, Watson notices the queer occurrences at the estate and surrounding moors, and sends Holmes reports of what is going on concerning the life of Sir Henry. Will Holmes arrive in time to unravel the mystery, and who is responsible for Sir Charles' death and the attempted murder of Sir Henry? Is it Dr. Mortimer, neighbor Stapleton, butler Barryman, harmless old Frankland, a mysterious wild man, or is there a curse on the Baskerville family? Very good opening entry in the Rathbone-Bruce Holmes series (even though this film lacks qualities of any ongoing entries.) The film could have been a bit more darker and foreboding (the film does have a movie studio set feel) and have an ending with a little more confrontation to it, but it does provide for much fun. The romantic scenes with Greene and Barrie have little spark, but there are very good red herring performances by the cast, which is a plus for this movie. Rating, 8.

映画では、澪に新たな恋の予感も。
