I am a fan of the whole Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series - undoubtedly the closest to Doyle's vision and usually faithful to the original stories. This adaptation of the Sussex Vampire is an abomination. The original story had a very clever twist and was short and entertaining . In order to flesh a short story out to 2 hours the writer and director changed the whole thing, and in so doing changed the nature of Holmes, making him believe in things which his rationalist nature could never agree to. The plot is sill and utterly unbelievable: Conan-Doyle would turn in his grave!
