Now this is what a real movie is like. Excellent acting, excellent plot, English accent, goth...and no ridiculous loud music drowning out the dialog. It seems real instead of a movie. Takes real talent to pull that off. The English really know how glue a person to his seat. I really enjoyed it.

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and David Suchet as Hercule Poirot. I can not accept anyone else.

I thought that I had seen all of the Sherlock Holmes episodes; fortunately, I was wrong. Watching the inimitable, extraordinarily gifted Jeremy Brett in other films and taped stage performances is always a sublime pleasure. Had he lived, who knows what other great performances his fans would have been more-than-fortunate to see. What a talent! What an artist! What a uniquely handsome man! His charismatic persona jumps off the screen and the stage!

Jeremy Brett is the true Sherlock Holmes. I still see the episodes whenever i am free. One of the best adaptations of Sherlock Holmes ever.

Jeremy Brett was my favorite Sherlock Holmes (and still is to this day). I also enjoy Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Holmes, but Brett's portrayal of Holmes is so magnificently eccentric. He truly owned the part. I love (and own) all of the Grenada TV Sherlock Holmes episodes starring Jeremy Brett, and I cherish them dearly.

I struggle with the Memoirs series, Jeremy was so ill at this point it's hard to watch him struggle with his breathing and slurring words. I applaud his devotion to the character and craft but I chose to remember him as he was in the earlier seasons, full of life and zeal. I far as I am concerned he is and always will be the only Sherlock Holmes and when I read and reread the books, it's his face I see and his voice I hear.

You can read this short story in about half an hour. They did a great job with the teleplay. Heard Jeremy Brett was really ill when they filmed these last few episodes of the series ever. RIP Mr. Brett.

Jeremy Brett is easily the best ever Holmes, impossible to read the books without imagining him in the role

Nobody played Holmes like Jeremy Brett. The best ever.

Jeremy Brett the best Sherlock for ever👌💗

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, David suchet as Hercule poirot, John thaw as inspector Morse, etc, these actors performed there roles well, I'm a great fan of David, Jeremy and John respectively spraking

Brett is the epitome of Sherlock just as Suchet is the epitome of Piorot.

Chitchatchuck wouldn’t recognise a outstanding acting performance if their life depended on it! Brett immaculate and brilliant as always.

Read the books about a hundred times more, THEN rewatch all those different versions. There is no comparison. The Granada company's Sherlock Holmes series with Jeremy Brett is hands down the most book exact representation of the character there is. Brett 100% based his Holmes on Doyle's books. He kept a file on the desk on the set of Holmes' study that detailed exactly what Doyle had the man doing. When he wasn't sure, he referenced. As a method actor he became Holmes...even to the point of making himself sick. Holmes' demeanor was so opposite Brett's super happy jovial self that he had to 'take a break' and spend time in a psychiatric hospital (with meds) to get out of the depression he found himself in because of his acting method. Having read all of Holmes' adventures repeatedly since I was about 8 years old and watched every "English" language version of Holmes I could get a hold of, I still find Brett's portrayal to be the most on point and character correct to the books there is. I've enjoyed watching all the others and their versions for different reasons (Cumberbatch being modernly quirky, Downey being exciting and rousing and Rathbone being dour and somewhat aristocratic, as examples) but at the end of the day, Holmes is still an extraordinary and complex character and if anyone anywhere was able to capture the fullness of that sometimes manic mind it was Jeremy Brett. The last few Holmes stories Brett was still the main character in were difficult to watch as his health was so rapidly deteriorating due to his heart condition and the toll the old 80's meds took on him, but to still portray the character so closely despite it, is a master class of his dedication to the character. He was a craftsman who strove for perfection in his art and his Holmes was certainly that.

For those who didn't fully understand the plot of the story: Stockton returned to the village to investigate his past, fully believing the story that his ancestors were vampires (as shown at the beginning of the movie when they burned down the Stockton mansion). Stockton meets the Ferguson family and falls in love with the wife (Carlotta) and the maid (Dolores) as later revealed in his diary, leading him to use his charms and knowledge to woo them. In the village, there was an influenza outbreak that claimed the lives of the blacksmith and the Ferguson family's baby. The superstitions of the village led everyone to conclude that Stockton was indeed a vampire to explain what was happening. Jack, the son, finds a father figure in Stockton (they shared a love for the violin, and both were loners), which made him believe in the philosophy that Stockton was truly a vampire. Here, Sherlock appears, curious to know why Stockton was being linked to all the events that were happening. After a while, Stockton and Sherlock meets, where Stockton tries to deceive him to convince him that he is indeed a vampire. This is where we realize that Stockton truly believed he was one. Later, Sherlock then returns to the Stockton mansion to uncover the deception. Stockton becomes overly confident in the trust Ferguson had placed in him, leading to the "fight" we witness and ultimately causing Stockton's exile from the Ferguson family. This eventually leads to the accident in which Stockton dies. When Stockton dies, Jack creates his own story, enhancing the mysticism that the tree where Stockton died was the same tree he fell from as a child. Dolores, who was curious about Stockton, knew about the spirit/vampire/curse scam (inferred from the interaction with the traveling vendor of "protective" objects). She goes to the tree where Stockton died to satisfy her curiosity and is surprised by Michael. He challenges her to "climb up and shake him down," which she appears to do to scare Michael and subsequently falls from the tree (as she had a bloody hand and neck). Michael confuses the accident with an attack by the already deceased Stockton. The marks left on Dolores' neck were purely coincidental from the accident, and Jack wanted to use this to his advantage. Jack, who had read "The Vampyre" in Stockton's literature (remembering that he had visited Stockton's home several times), wanted to use Dolores as a "sacrifice" to become a vampire. First, he poisoned the Ferguson family dog for his experiments, and then he poisoned Dolores when caught by Carlotta. He left, assuming that the sacrifice where he had to "bring her to the brink of death but no further, then care for her until she recovers with all the outward appearance of love" was already completed, and now only his "violent end" (according to "The Vampyre") remained to become a vampire. Carlotta saw Jack administering the poison, prompting her to suck it out (giving Ferguson the idea that she was turning into a vampire). Watson later finds the vial of poison (curare) that Jack left on the floor and informs Holmes. Ferguson, believing Stockton was still alive, went to retrieve his body to "definitively kill him," and Jack hit him from behind, knocking him unconscious. Finally, we have Jack's suicide, believing that he had already become a vampire. This leaves us with the conclusion that: - Both the blacksmith and the baby died from influenza. - Carlotta and Dolores were attracted to Stockton, causing Ferguson's reactions. - Jack aspired to be like Stockton. - Stockton believed he was a vampire and died in an accident. - Jack committed suicide, believing he had fulfilled "The Vampyre" ritual to become a vampire. - Vera was suffering from influenza.

i noticed a lot of hate comments personnally i found this very entertaining yes it had some flaws as do many a lower budget film but honestly it was well done well acted and fluid for a FREE You Tube Movie they did well keep up the good work

JEREMY BRETTwill be FOREVER Sherlock Holmes..😊

A great well acted movie by all. Jeremy Brett is the best Holmes ever. A great actor, very sadly missed. Greetings from Melbourne.👍🦘🌏

Jeremy Brett is my absolute favorite Sherlock Holmes. He was born to play that role. As a more ballsy version, I like Robert Downey, Jr. in the role.

I must say that at this time, Jeremy Brett was quite ill with the disease that killed him. He wanted badly to continue these stories, with whatever strength he had left. Bless him.

Thanks for your help in getting these movies out for the public.

Awww,isn’t Jeremy thee best………loved everything he was in!💥💥💥💥💥💥

I love Sherlock Holmes, and Jeremy Brett was one of the best. Thank you for this.

I loved Jeremy Brett in Sherlock Holmes. He was the best Holmes, imo.

Something most miss is the superb sets, props, costumes _(especially the hats)_ and the horses.

Jeremy Brett was Sherlock Holmes. The man was brilliant. May he rest in peace.

Yes, Jeremy Brett played a very good Sherlock.

Jeremy Brett RIP, you were the GOAT of Sherlock Holmes actors!

need more movies like this my favorite vampire actor was Christopher Lee anybody remember him?

Jeremy displayed class and unique and appropriate gestures. I loved his acting , filled the persona to tee. Best Holmes’s bar none/

Jeremy Brett was an excellent Sherlock Holmes. I also liked Basil Rathbone in the role.

I thought I’d seen all the vampire movies from back then. I’ve never seen this before. Thank you so much for uploading 👍🏼

A very good Holmes and Watson combination. These movies are timeless.

I have also read all the Holmes stories and agree that Jeremy Brett is the best Holmes played closest to Homes in the books. Rathbone is a very close second but his films were spoilt for me by the portrayal of Watson as an idiot as he was most certainly not written this way by Conan Doyle! Rupert Everett played him once in "The Case of the Silk Stocking" and did an excellent job of it, just a shame he only undertook the role once! Only just discovered this channel and subscribed immediately!

Brett, though plainly not in the best health, is superb.

Brett has charisma that's hard to look away from.

Thank you for this quality upload of classic characters played by true artists.

Here I am watching the kind of stuff my dad used to watch. I guess you do turn into your parents.

Watched this one many times over the years. Always takes me by surprise. I scream every time that bat flies into Holmes face! This was one of the best episodes of Brett's career. May he rest in peace.

This was an excellent movie with great apprehension and mystery!

What an amazing Sherlock Holmes movie this is. It was one of a very few that I had never seen. Without a doubt one of the best

Always had a fascination with Sherlock Holmes stories. Excellent!!

So wound in intricacies of mind and events. Poor boy, so lonely. Unhappy man driven to momentary madness. Holmes, logical, and his needed friend Watson, emotional and caring.

JEREMY BRETT remains the best Sherlock ever!!!

Excellent! knew there was something weird about that kid! Such rich staging and costumes, transported me to that town, very well written and executed........ Mysterious too! Great actors!

I love this Holmes character. Excellent acting

The splendiferous wreckage of what was originally a poignant, beautifully written short story, in which Holmes visited the afflicted party and solved the problem with a single glance at the older brother. This is not the best butter - though I love all the scenes with Brett and Hardwicke just enjoying acting together for their own sake if not the story's.

Jet again a truly outstanding performance as Sherlock Holmes by Jeremy Brett .

I can't remember seeing this before and I really enjoyed it. Thanks

Fun Fact: The picture above the mantle piece is a picture of the Reichenback Falls.

Jeremy Brett

Brett is very close to Conan Doyles vision of Holmes in my opinion. Maybe even closer to his personality?

This looks like it’s taken from the HD remastered European or US blu-ray editions. It’s a shame they’re not available in the UK. Thanks for sharing.

It's a pity some people around here wrote pointless, rude blasphemous comments which have nothing to do with the film 😡

Great production and entertainment value. Brett brings his usual charm, so suited for this role.

Two adverts in the first 7 minutes. You bastards.

Stockton’s death: I keep thinking about the blacksmith and the wheel.

Breaking the violin was the best scene.

Brett has that charisma that's hard to look away from.

Jeremy Brett and Basil Rathbone. My two favourite Sherlock Holmes.

……the late, great Jeremy Brett was a consummate actor. He nailed S H, as his own, forever. Maybe his manic depressive state made him the actor he was. His biography is very sad to read.

this film is a cut above the average. Some good acting and the scene in the public house reminded me of some old Dutch painting but the village looks much too clean and prosperous for the times.

Sunday roast in the oven, feet up on the sofa for ten minutes nod off with Sherlock, perfect. 😊

Holmes and Watson ....what 's not to like .10 out of 10 .

Well I must say the ending was quite unexpected. Took a gander through your channel and saved several movies to my playlist. Do you have any more Holmes movies? Keep up the great work

Jeremy Brett, the greatest Sherlock Holmes ever!!!!

It’s odd how they started lengthening short stories, I mean, if they really wanted to do more feature length episodes, adapt “A Study in Scarlet” or “The Valley of Fear”, I find it sad that those two books aren’t getting more recognition

Thank You, for taking time to post this movie. I always enjoyed the Turner Classic channel years ago when we had cable, so many great films out there.

Such a good movie and I can't believe I've not ever heard of it before. Enjoyed every minute, of course with Sherlock Holmes especially. Thank you for showing this and other future movies that holds ones attention.

The atmosphere of these episodes is quite unique...

This is wicked! Very well made. They really know how to edit movies back then. Where the hell on earth were all these skills had been lost to?

Have all tis films on tape at home! Brett was the best holmes ever! From belgium

Rare to see two such good versions of Dr. Watson as seen in this series. They had to replace one for another, but both 'versions' were equally good. At least as close as one could hope for. And I've seen poorly done versions of Watson in other Sherlock versions. That's for sure...

First rate mystery with horror overtones, definitely recommended viewing.

Great film. I love a fine Sherlock Holmes movie. ❤

Really excellent, a classic. .. They simply don't even try this hard anymore, no need to. Whatever an actor can't do, a computer can lol. And make it look more than real....

7/10. Certainly One Of Holmes Stranger Adventures In Both Story And Adaptation

Beautifully crafted film

Moffat, love you, BUT THIS is Sherlock as closest to Dr Doyle's depiction.

This was a superb mystery. Thank you and I’m also grateful for the captions.

The Chaplain is a great character actor….really superb.

I love u for any Jeremy Brett Sherlock..such a magnificent actor..! THANKS...XX

Brilliant film, thanks so much for posting it for us.

Jeremy Brett as Grand Admiral Thrawn in star wars and Watson as Captain Palleon!!

Great movie, with real English actors and their different accents! Wonderful ❤😂

The story is called "Sussex Vampire"

they never showed this movie on American TV , i would have seen it by now . great movie !

> DDF: Reel Films What a wonderful surprise to see this film in my feed - thank you so much for uploading The Last Vampyre featuring the outstanding actor Jeremy Brett. You made my day!

Still enjoy these programs in 2023.

Very nice, excellent music as well. Thanks for sharing.

It's from the Casebook of Sherlock Holmes

Can't beat Sherlock Holmes and Watson.

Enjoying the visuals, attire, everything of the time period. 🙋🇨🇦🌹🥰💖✨ No complaints because I am not a movie expert. Just a normal gal in the world that enjoys the genre. Ty for uploading.

Gratitude for sharing! Enjoyed it immensely 🙏💙

Jeremy Brett was also Dracula in theaters.

The best Sherlock imo

Christopher lee and peter cushing were durable duo vampire roles and as van helsing simul! In the 70's!

Old is gold❤❤

Roy Marsden was excellent in The Sandbaggers. The location was Stanton in Gloucestershire.

Sherlock Holmes looks more like a vampire
