Good location
Underwhelming
I like a whodunit murder mystery and this had been on my list to see for a long time. It's not a film that gets shown on TV often but is on Sky cinema at present.
It has a rather silly plot of a serial killer around Oxford University who leaves clues a Maths professor and student try to solve. The scenes in and around Oxford University give it a nice setting. The lead characters are good actors but unfortunately they are let down by the final revelation about the murders. One for Whodunit fans only.

Ok for Whodunit fans
I love Murder Mysteries and a fan of Agatha Christie stories. I've not seen a film or Tv adaptation of this cover of the "Hallowe'en Party" story. It's different with the Ghost and spiritual angle on proceedings. A nice setting in a creepy house in Venice. The summing up seemed to come rather abruptly and a couple of things not really that well explained as to how they were worked out. There's not much for viewers to go by to work it out. One for Whodunit fans mainly.

Ok whodunit comedy
I love a whodunit murder mystery film, serious or comedy. So I was excited when I heard about this Netflix film just a couple of days before it was released. I'm not a big Sandler fan but he has done some funny films. He had good chemistry with Aniston in @Just Go with It (2011) and they work together well in this as well. It was OK especially if you are a fan of the genre. The only down side really most of the best bits are in the trailer. Overall a fun lighthearted comedy with a fair share of funny moments.

A very slow burner
I'm a big fan of Poirot and whodunit mysteries in general. So I was looking forward to this considering the cast. Unfortunately at 3 episodes it feels a little bit too long and drawn out. It's still interesting enough for fans but others might find it a bit ponderous.

Rubbish, Rubbish, Rubbish
How on earth does something like this get green lighted to be made into a film? It's not a Slasher or a Whodunit. Supposedly a comedy full of annoying characters you can't wait to be bumped off so they have less screen time. There isn't really a plot to speak of. Avoid this.

Not much werewolf
Odd comedy Horror
Slightly odd comedy Horror based on a video game. More of a whodunit twist of who the killer or werewolf is. Plenty of oddball characters. Mildly amusing in places but some of the characters were just annoying with OTT acting. Not much of a werewolf as well, so a bit disappointing.

A pretty good period drama with a touch of Whodunit? about it similar to an Agatha Christie film. Great largely all English cast, location, costumes. A lot of effort went into the production of the movie, noticeable in the attention to every detail. Has a slight twist as you would expect but may be a bit too slow for some.
