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 Says

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.

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.

A captivating whodunit boosted by an evocative setting and stellar cast performances, it is a cinematic experience that not only keeps viewers guessing until the very end, but also leaves us haunted by its themes long after the credits roll.

Rated: 4/5

this movie was so quiet and slow paced it triggered the 5 teens behind me that their parents had entrusted to the theater to babysit. they were inspired by the movie's slow pacing and moody backdrops to kick our chairs, scroll social media with the sound on, and take selfies with a flash. there were a party of teens, and one other couple besides us. with an empty echoey theater + soft speaking of the movie + raucous teens. we left after 45 minutes.

Despite being like a horror film, this was somehow less depressing than the Hercule Poirot mystery, which makes it much more entertaining

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!
