To be fair, I've seen many Poirot's in various movies, but never read an Agatha Christie book. I thought this movie was well acted & the story was interesting, but don't know if this Poirot strayed from the book versions. As a stand-alone movie it well-acted and the story engaging, and I therefore didn't dwell on any betrayals of the source material. Pardon me, but I enjoyed it.

Third of Branagh's Agatha Christie adaptations is a real pip, like his previous entries. Good old mystery is really enjoyable. Not a horror film, as the title and a previous reviewer here suggests (the title of Christie's novel was Hallowe'en Party). I also got a real laugh from the review posted immediately below by the irate viewer with the poor spelling. The Irony was hilarious. Thanks buddy! I'm sorry you didn't like the movie, but I appreciated your review 😂

It's deep and dark. Lots of twists. Interesting setting. Melancholy with an air of unease and creepiness. Smart movie. Yes it will "haunt" you afterwards.

Perfect October movie for the educated crowd!! Was not prepared for the intensity of the haunting effects; very realistic. Also very much appreciated the (unspoken) exploration of Poirot's state of mind, confidence in his own abilities and his personal beliefs in God, spirits,the paranormal. Also appreciated the spots of humor, such as the reason the young couple wanted to relocate to Missouri. Very well-crafted enjoyable movie!!

I don't know why they changed the title and went so far from the book it's based on. It sounds like a horror story from the title, but it's not. It's a weirdly written detective story, and Kenneth B's portrayal of Poirot is so far from how Agatha Christie wrote him. I hope he doesn't try to do any more of these.

I like spooky murder plots with paranormal overtones or REAL SCARY hauntings, but even though there are some Great actors in this one, it just could NOT hold my interest OR scare me! A week later and I can barely remember ANY of it, which tells me I was not that 'enthralled', shall we say.... OR Scared, which I really Really WANTED to be!
