This adaptation was shown on BBC in 2016 as a three-episode miniseries.
We already know what will happen. The guests, invited to a gathering in an inland mansion, who seem at first to have nothing in common, are to atone their sins and later will be murdered one by one. Despite that I already know this, I'm still awed by the excellent pacing and cinematography that contribute to the psychological thrill the movie intends to be. The decision to make it a 3-episode mini-series does the trick.
