lots of mysteries in this one like ‘who’s the killer?’ and ‘why is the camera angled like that?’

The real crime was that Michelle Yeoh wasn't in every scene.

I just want someone to love me the way Kenneth Branagh loves using that damn French accent

The twist is so obvious that Benoit Blanc would have solved the case after he had his first drink

Less enthused with star-studded ensembles (Orient Express) or camp artifice (Death on the Nile), Kenneth Branagh takes Agatha Christie's 'Halloween Party' and brings it to Venice in the middle of a torrential downpour. Hardly any CG gloss here. Real locations, carnivorous spaces, with a mystery that's less of a crowd-pleaser and more of a sobering, futile reckoning with guilt. It's a real tone shift for a series that has first and foremost been easy afternoon viewing for matinee audiences. Don't expect a bunch of levity - A Haunting in Venice is a properly spooky affair, and Branagh's staging is very evocative. Love all the high-angle camera placements, with rigid movement for each of the performers. It is expertly filmed and edited to get under your skin. I found the mystery itself to be a bit dry and not nearly as sturdy as a usual Christie classic, but Kenneth Branagh and team do their best to haunt the proceedings.
