A Haunting in Venice
Famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) is back for the third time. Once again, this story is based on another Agatha Christie book. In 1947 Venice, disenchanted Poirot has decided to retire avoiding any new cases. However, friend/crime novelist Adriadne (Tina Fey) convinces Poirot to attend a séance on Halloween night at the palazzo of an opera singer in order the expose the medium Joyce Reynolds (Michelle Yeoh) as a fraud. It is a dark & stormy night when multiple deaths occur, hallucinations begin, & quirky characters are interrogated. Expect a number of jump scares. See if you can solve this complicated case before the finale is revealed. Will Poirot stay in retirement or will he turn up in another Agatha Christie novel movie?
Alien gives it 2½ “curse of the children” stars out of 4.
