"A Haunting in Venice" Review

 

by John Zenoni


I absolutely loved ‘A Haunting in Venice’, another Kenneth Branagh film about the famous crime detective Hercule Poirot. In this latest film, Poirot - who is supposedly retired - gets invited to a Halloween party/seance by a writer friend - played by Tina Fey - and ends up investigating a murder that takes place while he is in attendance. The seance takes place at a supposed haunted house in Venice, Italy.

This film has it all - suspense, mystery, laughter, murder, intrigue - including a great cast. Besides Branagh and Fey, other cast members include Kelly Reilly, Jamie Dornan, Emma Laird and Michelle Yeoh. Yeoh is yet again amazing in her latest role and really she almost steals the show as the psychic who leads the seance. I only hate that her part was not longer. But she shines during the time she's in the film. I truly hope the Poirot series will continue, as this one has left me wanting more.
