I wasn't familiar with the story at all and it certainly stumped me and had me impressed once everything was revealed. Even though 'A Haunting in Venice' is mostly set inside a closed building, Branagh continues to find ways to remind you just how great this setting is throughout the film. The final scene in that movie will haunt me until the day I die. I've loved it (and been haunted by it) ever since seeing 1973's 'Don't Look Now'. Venice is such a terrific setting for a film. If you don't get goosebumps when Poirot says, "Tell the police not to worry, Hercule Poirot is on the case" then you need to check your pulse. And the film lived up to the anticipation. So to see that his next adaption was going to be a fresh one and be more along the lines of horror - sign me up immediately. I have loved everything about Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot series so far.
