Summary: Quiet and spooky
Review: I am disappointed but not at all surprised that nearly all the customer reviews for The Pale Horse are poor. I am not astonished that many found this movie dull, because they are Americans and Americans are used to fast pace action movies and when they think mystery movie they of course think action, violence, etc. Some people were surprised that an Agatha Christie story would be this spooky and set in the 60s, although as they should know Christie wrote mysteries until her death in the 70s. Like Miss Marple, Christie was a people watcher, she studied not only people but the times they lived in and the crimes those times were likely to contain. And in the 60s Christie�s stories did become darker and spookier.
Some reviewers complained of useless characters and misleading/useless dialog and confusing hard to follow scenes, well if they dislike that than they shouldn�t complain only about this movie, because that is precisely the way Christie writes, she uses all of those elements to conceal the truth of the mystery until the very end. Christie also uses many one dimensional characters; this makes many think it is the fault of the actor/director/script writer that characters appear unusual/one sided and unbelievable.
I think this is a very good movie and perfect for someone who likes a quiet interesting mystery. I also recommend watching it multiple times, ten to on e you will notice something that you didn�t the first time. This movie is somewhat special because it does not contain any of Christie�s famous detectives.
For people that want superior character development and better explained motives, but still want a good mystery. I recommend Ross Macdonald�s mystery novels.

Review: I didn't like the movie The Pale Horse. I couldn't follow the storyline and I had trouble distinguishing the motive of the killer. I didn't like how the police automatically accused Mark Easterbrook of killing the priest after he turned the list of names into the police. It seemed as if they didn't investigate, they jumped right to conclusions. I didn't like how they made it seem that the witches were the murders; it seemed kind of cheesy to me. Why witches? And where did the wheel chair man come from? It seemed as if he came from nowhere and killed these people on this list that Mark Easterbrook gave to the police. However, it seems as if it's always the unsuspectable that are the killers. Generally, I was very disappointed.
I give this movie only one star because I did not like it and because it did not hold my attention. This movie was not suspensful and not in the least bit interesting. I found the plot boring and the charaters not interesting. I did not like how the characters were not affectionate to each other. I thought that the movie was cheap and not thought through. I found the movie hard to follow and confusing. I really didn't find any good aspects of this movie. My opinion would be not to waste your time watching this movie.

Summary: Dark, sinister, bloody spooky
Review: I have to admit that this is one Agatha Christie book that I have not read. The reviews are polarized and there does not seem to be any compromise. However this movie is darker and spookier than any Christie movie I have seen. And this is the 60's. I do not think of Christie and the 60's as compatible. If the time era does not bother you then you may want to watch "Thirteen at Dinner (1985) ASIN: 079074130X." If you do not think of this as an Agatha Christie movie, but as a spooky mystery it is well put together. You can figure out the what and how pretty quick. Yet, the who takes a little bit longer. I make you want to watch Macbeth.

Review: I think that the storyline of this movie was good. After the second time that i watched the movie it proved to run smooth the whole time. The clues as to who it was were kinda blurry but besides that i understood it. The acting wasn't that good but that is ok.

Review: If you're not an Agatha Christie fan, don't bother watching this movie. You really have to appreciate Christie's work to like this movie. It has a dry plot and unmotivating characters. The characters are unbelievable and make you wonder if they even read the script. The movie leaves you feeling used and abused by the fact it stole 2 hours of your time. In my opinion, don't waste your time.
