Zé do Caixão: There’s the most perfect creation of nature: children! Pity that they grow up to become idiots. In search of nothing. Lost in a Labyrinth of egoism… and dominated by a non-existent force: the faith in the immortality of the spirit. Man in his stupidity doesn’t comprehend the only truth of life: the immortality of blood.
Now this is how you make horror on a shoestring budget.

Walker: Somebody’s got to pay.
Non-linear neo-noir is blessed by a sterling cast.

I’ve read the source novel and was looking forward to the movie. It is nowhere near as thought-provoking but still a fun special effects adventure.
The finale in the series of Rathbone/Bruce Sherlock Holmes films is a tribute to the Conan Doyle story A Scandal in Bohemia. A mistress of disguises leads a gang that will stop at nothing to retrieve three music boxes. These will give the crooks virtually a license to print money. As always, Sherlock Holmes is just a little too smart for her.
Given the quality of the average B movie of the period, these films are small masterpieces and remarkable for their consistency.
