Kenneth Branagh's previous Agatha Christie adaptations, Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, were whodunnit thrillers with no supernatural elements, but the acclaimed filmmaker's next Hercule Poirot adventure, A Haunting in Venice, looks like it's going to take things deep into horror territory!
20th Century Studios has now debuted a second trailer and new poster for the movie, and whether the ghostly goings-on turn out to be real or not, A Haunting in Venice is definitely being marketed as a horror flick.
“A Haunting in Venice is set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve and is a terrifying mystery featuring 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. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets."
Reuniting many of the filmmakers behind 2017’s Murder on the Orient Express and 2022’s Death on the Nile, the film is once again directed by Kenneth Branagh with a screenplay by Oscar nominee Michael Green, based upon Agatha Christie’s novel “Hallowe’en Party.”
Branagh also produces alongside Judy Hofflund, Ridley Scott, and Simon Kinberg, with Louise Killin, James Prichard, and Mark Gordon serving as executive producers.
