The film is an adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes novel "The Hound of the Baskervilles" by Arthur Conan Doyle. It was the last Sherlock Holmes adaptation in the silent film era. Richard Oswald had penned an earlier adaptation of Conan Doyle's tale for the 1914 serial "Der Hund von Baskerville". This version was not a remake of that serial but was a straight adaptation
The Hound of the Baskervilles (2002 film) portrays a séance performed by Dr. Mortimer's wife. This scene never appeared in the original novel, though a similar scene did appear in the 1939 Basil Rathbone version of the film. Richard Scheib of "The Science-Fiction, Horror and Fantasy Film Review" called the film "one of the best Sherlock Holmes screen adaptations to date, and arguably the best of all screen versions of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" that we have." Pamela Troy of "CultureVulture.net" wrote, "There's a lot that may outrage fans of the original novel, but this is, nonetheless, a respectful, interesting, and worthwhile adaptation."
