A Haunting In Venice - 2023 - 6/10

Detective Hercule Poirot has retired to Venice.
He is not accepting new cases, absolutely not!
Nevertheless, he is intrigued by an upcoming séance. On Halloween night!
What follows is a locked-room mystery, with good elements and weak ones.
Nice assortment of characters with motives – and yes, there are deaths.
The set design is extraordinarily done; the house feels massive, gloomy, decaying.
Direction, at times, is heavy handed. Jump scares, ridiculously loud noises.
Expected of a horror B-movie, not Kenneth Branagh.
