"Christie's whodunit reimagined as occult psychological dread"
Based on Agatha Christie's novel, this two-part miniseries follows antique dealer Mark Easterbrook after his name turns up on a list found in a dead woman's shoe, leading him to a trio of reputed witches in a sleepy village. Adapted by Sarah Phelps, it trades cozy whodunit charm for a moody, unsettling atmosphere full of hallucinatory dread and creeping paranoia. It's less about solving a puzzle than sitting with dislocation and guilt, carried by strong performances and a genuinely eerie visual style rather than fast plotting.
the unsettling, hallucinatory atmosphere Sarah Phelps brings to a classic Christie mystery.
you want a brisk, faithful whodunit rather than a slow, disorienting mood piece.
