A good mystery investigation crime drama with the flavour of horror. Like all horror movies, this is also filled with some jarring sounds and jump cuts. But this movie doesn't want such a type of treatment I think. Anyway, it worked somehow at some scenes. The movie is engaging even though it's predictable mostly. It's not a tension building movie, but it has its own ways to keep my eyes and ears open. Overall a good movie for me.

Another great instalment to the Poirot franchise I love these books and I love these movies. There's just something about a whodunnit that makes for a fun story. It doesn't have to be anything special, and quite often its not, but its entertaining enough, and keeps you on your toes enough for it to be an enjoyable ride This movie is no different. Its story is nothing spectacular, but it has all the twists and turns you need for it to be fun. And adding the element of horror/supernatural into this instalment made it feel different enough from the other 2 to not start feeling stale and repetitive. Kenneth Branagh's directing is also nothing too amazing, but it is clear that he put a lot of vision into it, it seemed like he was able to experiment and have a good time making the movie. The choices of camera angles and shots were unique and interesting, and some of the location shots he got of Venice were genuinely beautiful. Its another classic Poirot story, and pulled off well enough to be a good time, I would recommend for a nice night in

Down to earth who dunnit. I liked it, fullstop.

If you are fond of detective novels or stories and have read Agatha Christie, you will find a pattern. The pattern of a get together of a group of people connected through something and a murder happens. Almost everyone has a motive of the murder except one person and eventually at the end that person turns to be the murderer. A haunting in Venice is almost similar only with extra spooky elements in it. Being a fan of Sherlock, I was never fond of her style but Haunting in Venice is still a watchable movie only due to its setup of a haunted place. Rest remains same!

When - 1:25 AM Where - Amazon Prime With Who - Myself Second Thoughts - This being my first rewatch of this film, I very quickly realized that I had forgotten nearly all of it. That’s not necessarily meant as a knock in it, simply an honest observation. With much more of a horror bent to the story, I actually thoroughly enjoyed such a twist compared to the more classic whodunnit themes from the previous franchise entries. A cool aspect of this rewatch was as the movie played out and my memory began to return, I kept a sharp eye out for hidden clues throughout that hinted at the film’s conclusion. Director and star Kenneth Branagh’s turn as the famed detective in the movie feels the most vulnerable of the three performances. Retired and disillusioned with humanity and the world as a whole, the ghosts of Poirot’s past rise to the surface during the film’s runtime. The entire cast do well in their roles, although I definitely felt less attached to this ensemble compared with the first two movies. The young Jude Hill as Leopold Ferrier gives a notable performance as the precocious young man desperately caring for his PTSD-riddled father. One thing of particular note on the technical side of things is the cinematography. Not only does the film and the many colors of Venice, Italy look sharp and beautifully contrasted, the use of dynamic camera movements were more prevalent throughout and it only added to the movie as a whole. Overall a solid conclusion to this mystery trilogy, barring any further entries.

A good enough mystery movie but I feel that it is not matching the level of other Hercule Poirot movies. The story plot was flat and the points that could raise curiosity in the audience were missing. A one time watch! Available on Hotstar.

Cast: Kenneth Branagh, Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly, Riccardo Scamarcio, Michelle Yeoh Director: Kenneth Branagh Filmyhype.com Ratings: 3.5/5 (three and a half stars) Based on Agatha Christie’s detective novel Hallowe’en Party, from 1969, Kenneth Branagh’s A Haunting in Venice chooses to draw its origins from a literary material full of meaning, and then rework it into a cinematic detective story with dark hues and exquisitely noir charm. Unlike the original paper version, where everything comes to life in the city of Venice, in a lagoon context that speaks its language, parallel to that of the plot, exposing the uncertainties of the protagonists with glimpses that seem frozen in time, details deeply torn by the incessant passing of the eras and a certain authorial attitude that is intangible and perfectly coherent with what happens on the screen. The third film of the saga. Third attempt for Kenneth Branagh in the double role of director and leading actor. Read Full article below 👇 https://filmyhype.com/a-haunting-in-venice-review/
