Critics Consensus

A darker and spookier spin on Branagh's Poirot, A Haunting in Venice is a decent Halloween snack whose undemanding mystery gets a lift from nifty visuals and an all-star cast.

Audience Consensus

A Haunting in Venice is an entertaining mystery that's just scary enough -- as long as you're able to stick with it after a slow start.

To date, I think this is Kenneth Branaghs best Poirot movie. I connected the most to this entry. Solid acting all around, very atmospheric, and I actually jumped twice!

We thought the acting was good and although it felt a little cut off at the end it was suspenseful and fun. 4/5 for a good Halloween show!

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

There is a specter of trauma that hangs over the whole movie, turning it from a good classic detective story into something more ghostly and spiritual.

Branagh and Fey make an appealing buddy couple: American sass meets European weltschmerz.

A Haunting in Venice officially derails Kenneth Branagh’s rebooted Agatha Christie films.

Pete Vonder Haar

Houston Press

It's just as well Branagh changed the title, because — location switch aside — there's almost nothing here that recalls the original story aside from Poirot, some of the other characters' names, and the presence of an apple bobbing tub.

Rated: 2.5/5

Film Freak Central

I love all three of Branagh's Poirot films for this thread of a broken man exploited and celebrated but desperate for a human connection to ground him in the world of the living...

Sarah Cartland

Caution Spoilers

Enjoyably melodramatic and nicely unnerving, though the tendency to shoot from above and at odd angles becomes headache-inducing, especially when one is trying to work out whodunnit (or indeed woohoodunnit). Camille Cottin and Emma Laird are stand-outs.

Rated: 3.5/5
