Kenneth Branagh returns as famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot in this loose adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Halloween Party.
After Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, Kenneth Branagh is back as Hercule Poirot in A Haunting in Venice.
The spooky murder mystery, very loosely based on Agatha Christie’s novel Halloween Party, is set 10 years after the events of Death on the Nile. The year is 1947 and Poirot (Branagh) is now retired from being a private detective.
However, he gets lured out of retirement by his crime novelist friend Ariadne Oliver (Tina Fey) who asks him to attend a séance with her at a haunted palazzo to debunk the famed psychic Joyce Reynolds (Michelle Yeoh).
When somebody dies during the séance, Poirot has to dust off his sleuthing skills to find out who did it.
But it’s not your typical case – Poirot starts to see and hear things in the palazzo, which was once an orphanage where many children died. The guests think “the children’s vendetta” is to blame for the death, but Poirot is confident the culprit...
