Much different style than the previous installments. A little slow for my taste, but still enjoyable.

This is another stellar installation in the Branagh “Agatha Christie-verse”! Like its predecessors, “Venice” tells one of Christie’s tales (“Halloween Party” in this case) with a killer cast and sharp style. In a twist away from the former two movies, this film fancies itself a haunted house story, and it succeeds terrifically in tone and atmosphere despite a lack of true terror, which doesn’t even feel necessary here. As we get closer to spooky season (or for those of us in Orlando already celebrating), this is a great one to add to your watch list!

Predictable, I got the assassin's identity right away. ! SPOILERS AHEAD ! I'd like to point out the fact that, in general, the film industry in recent years has had a weird obsession with the Munchausen syndrome by proxy —just to name some Sharp Objects (2018), The Act (2019), Run (2020), Take Care of Maya (2023) and many others — and this one seems to me like another one of these.
