The plot: Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot investigates a murder while attending a Halloween seance at a haunted palazzo in Venice, Italy.
A haunting in Venice was okay.
Pros: I’m glad they kept this simple and straight to the point just like the previous two films. How surprising I was with how frightening this movie had got. Kenneth Branagh still rocks as the lead Hercule Poirot and I enjoyed the film being set on Halloween in Italy it makes it different from the other two films.
Cons: This film had the least all-star cast ever assembled. The final revel who did it wasn’t that surprising in my opinion and too many jump scares that creeped me out.
The Casts:
- Kyle Allen as Maxime Gerard
- Kenneth Branagh as Hercule Poirot
- Camille Cottin as Olga Seminoff
- Jamie Dornan as Dr. Leslie Ferrier
- Tina Fey as Ariadne Oliver
- Jude Hill as Leopold Ferrier
- Ali Khan as Nicholas Holland

I still recommend watching this movie along with the other movies.
