"A Haunting in Venice" Review: Branagh's Lackluster Adaptation Fails to Thrill

"A Haunting in Venice" is Kenneth Branagh's third adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel featuring detective Hercule Poirot. While the film has some highlights, including Branagh's performance as Poirot, it suffers from a slower pace and duller characters compared to Branagh's previous adaptations. The story, loosely based on Christie's "Hallowe'en Party," takes place in Venice and follows Poirot as he investigates a Halloween seance in a haunted palazzo. Despite the change in location, the film fails to fully capitalize on the potential of the setting. Overall, "A Haunting in Venice" is watchable but lacks the engaging mystery and suspense of its predecessors.
