Plot summary

It’s 1881, and Old College, Oxford plays host to three very different academics. Abercrombie Smith is a model of Victorian manhood, clean of limb and sound of mind. Monkhouse Lee is a delicate and unworldly student from Thailand. And occupying the rooms between them is the strange and exotic Edward Bellingham, whose unnatural researches into the secrets of ancient Egypt are the talk of the college. Can Bellingham’s experiments truly bring the breath of life to the horrifying bag of bones that is the mysterious Lot No 249?

Remember “Tales of the Unexpected”? Well I thought

Remember “Tales of the Unexpected”? Well I thought this a bit like one of these editions as “Smith” (Kit Harrington) starts to suspect that his fellow Oxford University student “Bellingham” (Freddie Fox) is using a particularly unique method to rid himself of his romantic rivals. He regales his suspicions to their new friend “Lee” (Colin Ryan) but even if these were to be true, how on earth could he ever prove that an ostensibly harmless relic from ancient Egypt might have the powers of Christopher Lee? It looks good, but there’s maybe just a bit too much dialogue and not enough of the menace that I wanted from the story and it sort of talks it’s way along for half an hour. It could have done with another twenty minutes and a few quid more in the visual effects budget to further develop the plot, and I quite liked the idea of a desiccated enforcer to rid me of folk I don’t like.

Entertaining short film...

Now, I haven't read the Conan Doyle story, but I am familiar with the story from "Tales from the Darkside: The Movie" anthology. And thus, of course I had to sit down and watch this 2023 take on the story and see what writer and directors Mark Gatiss had to offer here with this short film.Again, while I am not familiar with the original Conan Doyle story, I don't know how true Mark Gatiss stayed to the source material, or how much liberty of rewriting he took here. Regardless, sitting down to watch "Lot No. 249" for the purpose of being entertained, I will say that writer and director Mark Gatiss succeeded in doing so.I was only familiar with Kit Harington on the cast list in "Lot No. 249", but I have to say that the entire cast ensemble put on good performances. It was a small cast ensemble, but they carried the film well. I was also particularly impressed with actor Colin Ryan's performance.Visually then "Lot No. 249" was good. The special effects were simplistic, but to the point and very functional. And that certainly spoke well in favor of the overall impression of the short film.My rating of "Lot No. 249" lands on a six out of ten stars.
