Trivia
The film contains two references to the most famous vampire novel, Bram Stoker's "Dracula". First, Dr Chagas lives in lodgings at 4 Renfield Place, Whitechapel. In the novel, Renfield is the insect-eating inmate of Dr Seward's lunatic asylum. Second, Brother Marstoke tells Holmes that Brother John was murdered in an alley opposite 128 Demeter Street. The Demeter is the name of the ship in which Dracula sails from Transylvania to England.

Goofs
When Holmes is looking at the "holes" in Brother Paul's neck you can see his neck moving as it pulses.

8/10

This movie proceeds at a gentle pace.

This movie has the flavor of a tv movie the from days of old, produced by and for the Hallmark channel.

A murder at a coed monastery calls for the talents of Sherlock Holmes. Holmes is unabashedly skeptical of religion, but murder is murder regardless of the venue. There are indications that the initial murder, as well as subsequent murders, were committed by a vampire, and as you might expect, Sherlock is equally skeptical about the undead. The movie proceeds at a gentle pace as we untangle the present conflict with past events which occurred in Guyana some years ago. All in all a pleasant way to pass a sleepy afternoon.
