Recently, my family and I had the opportunity to watch the movie called A Haunting in Venice (rated PG-13). I really liked watching the movie due to the climatic buildup and the mysteriousness of the plot. From my point of view, just when I thought I had what would be the resolution figured out, there was a shift that kept me further engaged in the film.

The film is set just after World War II has ended on Halloween night, at a castle that is rumored to be haunted by the bitter ghosts of children who died of the plague three years before. The movie surrounds a man named Poirot who is a retired detective, and generally lives separately from main society. Poirot has been convinced to attend a ritual to contact the spirit of a young lady who had recently committed suicide at the castle in hopes that additional information surrounding the strange and oddly timed suicide would be uncovered. After one of the guests at the ritual turns up dead, Poirot must snap into action by putting his detective hat back on to figure out who the killer is. Fortunately, Poirot’s clever detective work enables him to uncover secrets from the past and present that not only expose the killer but also expose the mystery behind the unusual circumstances of the unfortunate suicide that occurred recently.

The story has many twists and turns along the way to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat and absorbed in the thrill of the pursuit of the murderer. I would fully recommend this film to other students because while the movie is a thriller, it is certainly not bloody and gruesome as we so often see in many of today’s murder mystery films.
