This film takes a really long wind up to get going.
You get lots of shots of children running around spooky mansions and the ever present water that is all around.
The arty camera angles in Death on the Nile really bothered me, but here they are toned down and add to the disjointed feel of the haunted house that Poirot has come to investigate.
Performances and production are all great and the characters engaging.
My wife got a bit bored waiting for something to happen and was unimpressed when it did - so I can see how this one can be a bit divisive.
This has a darker feel to it than the other films and if there were to be a Halloween-special then this would be it.
Have some patience and you should enjoy this and may even get at ingle down your spine.
