Classic Friday : Young Sherlock Holmes (1985) 8/10

Starring : Nicholas Rowe, Alan Cox, Sophie Ward, Anthony Higgins
Director : Barry Levinson
Running Time : 104 mins

Schoolboys Sherlock Holmes (Rowe) and John Watson (Cox) investigate a series of unusual suicides, suspecting that someone might be behind them. As they look further into the deaths they discover a mysterious Egyptian cult who may be behind it all, but how can they stop them without becoming their next victims?

This is a great movie, although the formula is scarily similar to the Indiana Jones series. The plot is suspenseful and, although it seems hard to believe when watching it now, the special effects were incredibly inventive for the time. A definite must for any child of the 80s to add to their DVD collection.
