I recognize that Christie isn't exactly Shakespeare, but why adapt a book and change literally everything about it?

It's not in Venice, the house is not haunted, there's no seance... I guess some of the names are the same?
I'd give this movie a 6/10. I really really wanted to like it, I love agatha christie adaptations but this one was not great.
What was with the silly moustache? I'm not familiar with the source material, is this part of the design?
Oh definitely. Poirot is a silly kind of character in the first place.
Fair analysis. Feel like it needed to lean more into the horror side of things, although I can see that that might alienate some of the audience. Instead of all the camera angles and Poirot occasionally seeming doddery I'd have preferred if the audience experienced more of what he was seeing and hearing, make it feel more like there could be something supernatural going on.
It was a great movie. I don't usually jump scare, but for some reason the chandelier scene did it for me. My wife had a few jumps scares in later scenes.
Overalls great flick. I hope Kenneth Branaugh does more adaptions.
