A Haunting in Venice once again puts Hercule Poirot to the task of figuring out who-dun-it, but this time with an interesting supernatural element that somewhat turns this story into a horror film.

The movie does a good job of presenting questionable events involving spirits and ghosts to the point that their realness is arguable either way based on one’s personal interpretation, while also thematically plugging directly into Hercule’s personal story of having lost his faith in God because of the horrible things he’s seen over the course of his career.

However, in the end it is a very subtle movie, as really nobody is heavily suspected by the audience or otherwise up until Hercule figures everything out after a single conversation per suspect and exposes the killer in one fell swoop and then immediately regains his faith because he believes he saw a ghost.

So just like the aforementioned faith theme there are two interpretations of this subtle quality to the film: one that it is simply and classically told, and the other that it is tired and lazy.

I lack a strong emotional connection to this movie, so it wouldn’t take the world’s greatest detective to figure out where I stand…
