A perfect film for spooky season it seems. A Haunting in Venice was released in October and though the trailer did not give anything away really as far as plot was concerned the draw for me was Michelle Yeoh’s presence. And it is an Oscar contender so here we go with the review of A Haunting in Venice.

If you like the Knives Out movies then this is perfect for you. It’s a classic murder mystery and honestly I am glad we are getting more of these. They are fun to watch and the audience gets to try and figure out who done it along with the detective. I love self contained stories, it feels like too many things are a series or franchise now. Especially properties that just don’t need to be. And I really love chamber pieces, stories that take place in a single location. I think it can be an amazing exercise in screenwriting and it makes the story almost entirely reliant on character which as we know is the best way to tell a story. I give it a 7/10. It was nothing profound but it was a good story and all of the elements came together pretty well. There was the occasional shot that I felt was out of place and I don’t really think there’s much of a rewatchability factor here. But if you like murder mysteries it’s a good one.
