Sherlock Holmes

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, also known simply as Sherlock Holmes, is a British-American 2010 direct-to-DVD mystery film directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg and produced by independent American film studio The Asylum. It is based on the Sherlock Holmes characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, though it follows an original plot. Torchwood star Gareth David-Lloyd plays Dr. John Watson and Ben Syder, making his film debut, plays Sherlock Holmes. The film is a mockbuster intended to capitalize upon the 2009 film of the same name directed by Guy Ritchie, and is the second film by The Asylum to be inspired by the writings of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the first being King of the Lost World. The film was shot primarily in Caernarfon, Wales on a low budget. The Asylum had previously used the same locations to film Merlin and the War of the Dragons. The film details the "chronicle of [Holmes's] greatest accomplishment" in which famous detective and his companion Dr. Watson investigate a string of unusual monster attacks that defy belief, before stumbling on Spring-Heeled Jack's plot to destroy London and assassinate the Queen. The film has been shown on Syfy.
