Popcorn Culture - Review: A Haunting in Venice

Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) is back to investigate a murder in the third adaptation of the Agatha Christie mystery series, A Haunting In Venice. However, a certain supernatural twist throws the celebrated detective for a loop, pitting him against his most dangerous opponent. The movie boasts an ensemble cast including Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Ali Khan, Kyle Allen, and Michelle Yeoh. In this episode, we hold our magnifying glasses to A Haunting In Venice and discuss how it stacks up against its predecessors, if the central mystery is fun enough, and if we'd like to see more of Kenneth Branagh's mustachioed mystery solver.
