Peril at End House, as the first feature-length Poirot film starring David Suchet, particularly benefits from a supremely complex story in which the word plot takes on its true meaning, as it was a properly convoluted and intricate case during which the grey cells of the brain had to work at full steam to catch a very cunning perpetrator. For me personally, one of the best cases for the moustachioed Belgian. ()
The film was originally split into two parts but is better enjoyed as a whole. Poirot and Hastings get along great again, but more importantly, there's a story with a great script. It twists and untwists in such a way that only at the very end will you truly know how things were and are. And yet, it fits together perfectly, and the story is sufficiently suspenseful. ()
