October 10, 2009A schoolboy Sherlock, with a fussy young Watson in tow, investigates a series of murders by an occult group who use a hallucinogenic drug to justify the film's special effects budget. Good, overlooked Spielberg-produced adventure for kids, and the aforementioned hallucination sc...( read more)

May 25, 2009A great all too little known film from '86. Set in Sherlock Holmes school days setting the story background as he becomes the worlds most famous detective.

July 14, 2007Decent reinvention of the classic detective, seeing him solve his first crime as a schoolboy.

July 6, 2007A classic of my youth! A really impressive movie, visually - I believe the scene where the knight comes out of the stained glass window was a groundbreaking moment in cinema. Nicholas Rowe is a great actor, and it's a shame he hasn't done much recently. I think this little movie deserves to be much better known, and appreciated more. Give it a go!
