Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot comes face to face with spiritual forces as he races against time to solve a mysterious death.
If you are a fan of British novelist Agatha Christie’s “Hallowe’en Party”, you might be disappointed to know the screen adaptation by Kenneth Branagh strays far from the source material.
Where its predecessors stumbled with an overly familiar plot and forgettable characters, “Haunting” succeeds in presenting a well-woven murder mystery without becoming bogged down by its own narrative. A sceptic of the supernatural world, Poirot reluctantly agrees and follows her to the location where, just a year ago, the owner’s daughter Alica Drake died under mysterious circumstances.
And when Poirot begins to see spectres and hear eerie lullabies, even the power of deductive reasoning seems to stump our world-renowned detective.It is difficult to strike a balance between the horror and murder-mystery genres, but right from the start, the brooding visuals and music score effortlessly invite audiences to a mysterious and haunting world.
Even if you’re not a horror fan, fear not: there are plenty of tantalising breadcrumbs to awaken your inner detective and satiate your whodunit cravings. And of course, there’s our very own Yeoh. Her screen time as the mystifying medium Mrs Reynolds might have been brief, but she delivers an electrifying performance without overacting – something that might have happened with a less capable actor.
