In September, the iconic detective Hercule Poirot set sail on a chilling adventure in “A Haunting in Venice,” a supernatural horror film directed by Kenneth Branagh, which is an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel “Hallowe’en Party.” Now, with the movie surpassing the $100 million mark in global box office earnings, we have exciting news – “A Haunting in Venice” is making its way home just in time for Halloween.

Agatha Christie’s legendary detective, Hercule Poirot, returns to the screen in a spine-tingling narrative when “A Haunting in Venice” becomes available on digital platforms and Hulu on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.

This film marks Kenneth Branagh’s return to the horror genre since his 1994 production of “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein,” adding a ghostly dimension to his repertoire of critically acclaimed Hercule Poirot stories.

Written by Oscar nominee Michael Green (“Logan”), “A Haunting in Venice” was filmed at Pinewood Studios in the outskirts of London and on location in the mesmerizing city of Venice.

The movie boasts a remarkable ensemble cast, portraying a range of unforgettable characters, including Kenneth Branagh, Kyle Allen (“Rosaline”), Camille Cottin (“Call My Agent”), Jamie Dornan (“Belfast”), Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), Jude Hill (“Belfast”), Ali Khan (“6 Underground”), Emma Laird (“Mayor of Kingstown”), Kelly Reilly (“Yellowstone”), Riccardo Scamarico (“Caravaggio’s Shadow”), and Michelle Yeoh (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”).

Set in the eerie atmosphere of post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve, “A Haunting in Venice” presents a spine-tingling mystery that sees the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot.

Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. However, when one of the guests meets a grim fate, the detective is thrust into a sinister realm of shadows and secrets.
