Trailer Breakdown for the film:
The trailer opens with what looks like a map of the renowned Baker Street. We see a glowing blue light travel across the paper with a mysterious voiceover. Victorian London is set to witness horror which “moves through the streets like the shadow of a nightmare”. Various imageries show the light move through magnifying glasses and across tarot cards, while scenes from the series are depicted; one of which shows a girl lying on the ground with blood splattered over her eyes. With the series of demonic murders, an unusual group, known as The Irregulars, must stand against the horror. The trailer ends with the shot of a blue door with a doorplate that reads “221 B Baker Street”.
