Synopsis
The Scarlet Claw (1944) is a Sherlock Holmes mystery thriller you can watch online on iFILM. Basil Rathbone's Holmes and Nigel Bruce's Watson head into the Canadian backwoods, where a moor-bound phantom is said to rip out its victims' throats.
A woman turns up dead in the village of La Morte Rouge, her throat torn open, and the locals swear a glowing creature haunts the marsh. Holmes — in Quebec for an occult society meeting — doesn't buy ghosts. Behind the superstition he tracks a flesh-and-blood killer working with cold method, peeling back fog, false faces and forged alibis one by one.
Directed by Roy William Neill, The Scarlet Claw is widely rated the strongest entry in the Rathbone–Bruce run: gothic-horror mood built around clean deductive logic. The pick for anyone who wants their Holmes with a chill rather than a drawing-room puzzle. Stream The Scarlet Claw (1944) online on iFILM.
