Avis à la une
Poirot, now retired, and living in exile, is convinced by his friend Ariadne Oliver, to look into the honesty and integrity of a medium, who's set to visit bereaved mother Rowena Drake.
If you're going into this one hoping for authenticity, you may be a little disappointed, I recently read the book, and aside from a few names and events, it is only very loosely based on the book.
Authenticity to one side, I really did enjoy this movie, talk about an interesting choice, you can understand why Death on The Nile and Orient Express were chosen, but Halloween Party doesn't exactly lend itself well to an adaptation, but overall it works very well, plenty of plus points.
The main winner, the visuals, with Venice they were never going to fail I guess, it looks sensational, but the camera angles and focuses are really nice, very atmospheric and suitably sinister, a shame a few scenes couldn't have been just a tad brighter. The masks, robes and costumes looked so good, they really did give it a Halloween vibe.
I'd say this is Brannagh's most accomplished turn as Poirot so far, the toned down moustache has definitely made a difference, he feels more like Poirot.
Well acted all round, Kelly Reilly is no stranger to Agatha Christie, she's excellent as Rowena, and as for the young man that played Leopold, he was great.
My one gripe, Ariadne, I'm not knocking Tina Fey, she did a good job, but when you read the books, I just don't see her as an American glamour puss, I wonder if we'll see her again.
I'm awarding an extra point for the fact that Branagh chose Halloween Party, and didn't opt for Evil under The Sun or Appointment with Death, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of those was number four.
It worked well, 8/10.

A Haunting in Venice is the third installment of Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Agatha Christie's novels, featuring the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. Set in post-World War II Venice, the film follows Poirot as he investigates a murder at a seance in a haunted palazzo, where he faces a surprise from his own past.
The film boasts an impressive cast, including Branagh himself as Poirot, Michelle Yeoh as the medium Joyce Reynolds, Jamie Dornan as the doctor Leslie Ferrier, Tina Fey as the mystery writer Ariadne Oliver, and Kelly Reilly as the opera singer Rowena Drake. However, none of the characters are likable or charming, and that makes it a bit challenging as the story requires a lot of patience. The film attempts to be eerie, but the camera work and the actors do not seem to be believable or convincing, despite its atmospheric setting and stellar location views of Venice.
The plot is loosely based on Christie's novel Hallowe'en Party, but with several changes and additions that make it more complex and modern. The film explores themes such as guilt, revenge, faith, and justice, and touches on the historical and social context of post-war Italy. The twist is detailed but not too convoluted, however, not very believable. The film also relies too much on CGI effects and jump scares, which undermine the suspense and mystery.
A Haunting in Venice is not a bad film, but it is not a great one either. It is a decent adaptation of Christie's work, but it lacks the charm and wit of the original. It is a film that tries to do too much, but fails to deliver on its promises. I liked it, but not very much. I gave it just a 6/10 rating.

This was surprisingly spookier than I thought it would be but it was happily welcomed during this Halloween Season. It was spooky without being cheesy or goofy which is what a lot of traditional horror movies tend to lean towards. I saw it in theaters but can definitely see myself cuddling up on the couch with a hot chocolate and a blanket to watch this film in the autumn.
You can tell Tina Fey isn't used to playing more serious roles but she pulled it off enough. It was definitely a surprise to see her in this film, especially as such a large character.
I would love to see more Poirot in the future as Kenneth Branagh does a great job portraying him.
This film was a good length too. Not too long and not too short.
I'd recommend this to those who enjoy a little spook and mystery but not for anyone looking for light hearted Halloween fun.

Whereas the last two Branagh Agatha Christie adaptations were movies I sort of liked at first and started to realise were "meh" over time, this latest entry is one that I recognised as mediocre upon first viewing.
Granted, it was really refreshing to see that this time, the filmmakers clearly put effort into the locations and production design. The film looks authentic and gorgeous, as opposed to its predecessors that were over reliant on unnecessary CGI backgrounds.
The story does have some interesting ideas and compelling character interactions, but they unfortunately take a back seat half the time. For the other half, we get a lot of weak attempts at horror and red herring plot points that really do amount to nothing.
I don't know what happened with the performances, but half of them are pretty great and the others are...well, awful. The actors clearly didn't agree on what kind of movie they were in, with some thinking it ought to be straight drama and others thinking they should play it corny.
Like the previous films, this is a middling whodunnit, with all the rote machinations you expect from the genre, nothing shocking, nothing gripping, but nothing so bad as to tank the experience.
It's the definition of mediocre.

A Haunting in Venice is the best of Kenneth Branagh's trilogy of Poirot adventures. This one being a smaller scale whodunit with a supernatural edge fixes any remaining issues whilst still being an engaging mystery with a satisfying answer to whodunit.
Kenneth Branagh is still endlessly entertaining as Hercule Poirot, the humour is toned down here due to the darker story and yet again he's grown as a character by the end. Each one has tested something different, first it was his morality then his humanity and here it's his sanity that is pushed to breaking point.
The cast is still undeniably star studded but still smaller than the predecessor which means no one goes unnoticed. Highlights include Tina Fey who makes for a great double act with Branagh's Poirot and Michelle Yeoh, given her best role in a Western film in ages (excluding EEAAO of course).
Mostly being confined to one smaller, interior heavy location, Branagh's direction is even better that what's come before. His trademark canted angles have never been more at home and even though the film isn't massively scary, Branagh is still able to craft some effectively uncomfortable moments.
Thanks to the location this franchise is finally free of the distracting CG that's been its biggest flaw. Being majority practical just makes the whole thing infinitely more immersive and means the stylish visual composition on display isn't having to make up for shoddy effects.
