Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
The ominously named End House is the setting for deadly deception in this feature-length adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel. As so often happens, supersleuth Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) is charmed by a woman--in this case, Magdala "Nick" Buckley (Polly Walker, who later starred in Enchanted April and Restoration). Nick jokingly mentions three recent close calls with death, piquing Poirot's investigative instincts. A murder does occur; however, the murderer isn't the only criminal in this multilayered mystery. The path to the truth takes several unexpected twists before reaching its conclusion. In fact, this is one case Poirot's little gray cells may not have solved but for the help of his assistants. Although Poirot teases Captain Hastings (Hugh Fraser) about his crime-solving abilities, it is Hastings's childish word-association game that provides the crucial piece to the puzzle. And Miss Lemon (Pauline Moran), who in previous episodes has resorted to tarot cards and hypnotism to aid her employer, holds an impromptu séance during the final scene. A highly enjoyable (if somewhat improbable) addition to the Agatha Christie's Poirot series.

The DVD transfer has excellent picture and sound quality. Special features include an interactive trivia game, biographies of David Suchet and Agatha Christie, and a link to the official Agatha Christie Web site. --Larisa Lomacky Moore

- Brilliant, and my favorite of the whole series
The mystery is one of the most compelling and yet eminently solvable in the series. The clues are quite literally hiding in plain sight the entire time, and you'll be satisfied at how clever it is while simultaneously beating yourself over the head for not getting it. The characters are entertaining, believable, superbly drawn, and superbly acted, right down to the singers and waiters and other bit parts. And the story develops to the point where the conclusion is satisfying on many levels. (You ... Read More

- Puzzling. Suspenseful. Twisting. Delicious.
Hercule Poirot, the internationally-known, legendary sleuth has his hands full in "Peril at End House". Trying to foil a murder plot, Poirot finds no motive or perpetrator or crime, yet! Indeed, there are many suspects but none fit the puzzle perfectly.

Situated in the French Riviera, the beautiful setting and extravagent lavishness of the idle rich provide an interesting backdrop to murder. Hastings is charming in his stiff British sort of way and Poirot (David Suchet) is irresistably full ... Read More

- The GARDENER did it!! Or did he??
+++++

I watched this movie without reading the 1932 Dame Agatha Christie novel that it was based on. I'm glad I did this! Why? Because it forced me to really watch the movie in order to try and deduce who the murderer was.

As a brief synopsis, the murder takes place on the grounds of a mansion called "End House" that's owned by an accident-prone wealthy socialite. As it turns out Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) meets this wealthy socialite when he sustains an accident while on ... Read More

- EXCELLENT! YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE
first of all i would like to tell you that this one of the most intellegent Hercule Poirot movie, Agatha Christie have ever made. It is not David Suchet wich is Poirot, Poirot is Suchet... with his speach, intellegence and charm, David acts as poirot very very very well.

and remember, as in all of Agatha Christies films, it is not what it seems to be.

so, The only way to find out who the murder really is, is to not accept your eyes or ears...

do yor self a favour and see this ... Read More
