Sherlock Holmes, the world's greatest detective, meets one of the most important and legendary classic horror figures, Frankestein, in the film Sherlock Holmes vs. Frankenstein (Francia, Gran Bretagna - 2012). A dirigere questo film che si presenta come un sofisticato horror gotico, è Gautier Cazenave (House of VHS), who also co-wrote the screenplay with Stephen Marians.
In Cazenave's film, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson reach the village of Darmstadt in Germany to investigate a strange and mysterious case that has been terrorizing the locals for far too long. Indeed, it appears that someone is digging up corpses and then appropriating certain body parts. Sherlock Holmes and the doctor will try to unmask the culprit and, as the investigation continues, their suspicions will fall on Victor Frankenstein.
Il cast include l'icona della casa di produzione britannica Hammer, ovvero Shane Briant (Rose rosse per il Demonio, Frankenstein e il mostro dell'Inferno, Capitan Kronos - Cacciatore di vampiri). A lui si aggiungono Clement von Franckenstein, Eric Godon (In Bruges, The Expatriate), John Lebar (Prometheus), Angèle Vivier, Nicolas Robin, Stephanie Campion, Dario Costa e Ben Syder.
A crowdfunding campaign was launched for the film, which ended successfully last June 25. Below is the teaser of Sherlock Holmes vs. Frankenstein:
