'A Haunting In Venice' Has Screened, And People Are All Saying The Same Thing About Kenneth Branagh’s Third Hercule Poirot Mystery

Kenneth Branagh has provided some of the best mystery movies in recent years with his adaptations of Agatha Christie classics, and now he’s back for a third time with "A Haunting in Venice." Branagh again will direct and star as Hercule Poirot, with the murder this time being committed in the midst of a séance. It sounds like the perfect time for one of the most beloved fictional detectives' adventures to take a spooky turn, with Halloween just around the corner, and now that "A Haunting in Venice" has screened, people are hitting social media to share their first reactions.

In addition to Kenneth Branagh as the mustachioed sleuth, "A Haunting in Venice" boasts a stacked cast that includes Jamie Dornan, Michelle Yeoh, Tina Fey and Kelly Reilly, to name just a few. The movie is an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1969 novel "Hallowe'en Party," and those who attended a screening seem to be in agreement that this is Branagh’s best Hercule Poirot film yet. CinemaBlend’s own Mike Reyes calls the “gorgeously claustrophobic” mystery a perfect kickoff to the spooky season.
