Young Sherlock Holmes - Wikipedia

“Young Sherlock Holmes” suggests that Holmes and Watson met in their middle teens, at an English public school, and that Holmes solved his first case at about the same time.The traditional world of Holmes (in the movies, anyway) has been limited to fogbound streets, speeding carriages, smoky sitting rooms and the homes and laboratories of suspects. In this film, we get a series of hallucinations that are represented by fancy special effects, and then there’s the pseudo-Egyptian temple of doom at the end.
