Appointment with Death is one of my favourite Agatha Christie novels. This adaptation rewrites most aspects of the original novel, and none for the better. There are too many characters, reduced to over-the-top caricatures with the nuances and plausibility of a B horror movie cast. Very messy directing. As a result the whole affair is hard to follow and uninteresting. To top it off the new ending is laughably bad (think about how utterly cruel and traumatizing that would be to the child). Even Tim Curry is rather bad in this. However, the sceneries are sublime.
