Kenneth Branagh ratchets up the fear factor as he directs and stars in third mystery featuring Agatha Christie detective.
Kenneth Branagh didn’t give us much time to miss Hercule Poirot.
A loose adaptation of Christie’s 1969 novel, “Hallowe’en Party,” by “Murder” and “Death” writer Michael Green, “Haunting” is set in 1947 — a decade after the events of the previous film — in, of course, Venice. He, of course, gives in, soon finding himself with Ariadne at a seance at the decaying palazzo owned by famed opera singer Rowena Drake on Halloween. Rowena’s beloved daughter, Alicia died a year ago under mysterious circumstances, and the large home now seems to be haunted.
Branagh remains fun to watch as Poirot, even if he’s having little fun at any point while engaged in trying to solve this growing mystery. It’s surprising, given his talent, that Dornan — seen recently in the Netflix action-spy movie “Heart of Stone” — isn’t more impactful here.
