Saw it last night with the wife. VERY fun, nice, twisty plot with little clues dropping in everywhere.

One thing - someone asked if it’s worth being in the cinema. I’d argue Yes, on a few points:

It’s a dark film but there’s lots of little details to take in,
Also it’s a film where you need to keep your eyes on it, and a distractions like a minute of messaging could derail you
lastly, compared to Haunted Mansion, it’s good to have a logical, adult movie to see in the cinema. Even though I saw both (Haunten Mansion, under duress) I’d head out to see this just hoping it bring more smart mystery horror to the big screen

Probably my favorite of Kenneth Branagh's adaptations. I'm really impressed with the way he build a psychological horror out of mystery novel.

Plus the cast was awesome. Damn Michelle and Tina was amazing to see on screen together

Saw it Friday and really, really enjoyed the movie.

I loved the book “Halloween Party” but this sounds like it changed a LOT. Anyone out there who has read the book is it any good as an adaptation or am I just going to be annoyed the whole time?
