” were hack-job excuses to force as many disparate and ghastly celebrities onscreen as possible, “Haunting” is an actual, surefooted film with strong performances and a luxurious-yet-frightful tone.It certainly helps that Branagh, who once again directs and plays mustachioed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, is not burdened by stratospheric expectations this time.
