The best movie in Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot franchise.
18 September 2023
A Haunting in Venice is based on the Agatha Christie novel, Hallowe'en Party. It continues with the adventures of detective Hercule Poirot(Kenneth Branagh). Poirot is now retired, enjoying his downtime in Venice, Italy. Poirot's friend, author Ariadne Oliver(Tina Fey), invites Poirot to attend a seance. However, things take a dark turn when someone is murdered. Now, it is up to the world-class detective Poirot, to crack the case.

A Haunting in Venice is an incredible film. Director Kenneth Branagh has given us a movie that is thrilling, full of suspense & is filled with a growing sense of dread because of its gorgeous yet haunting Venice setting. This has been captured perfectly by cinematographer, Haris Zambarloukos. You will have no idea who the murderer is, until our favorite Poirot, joins the dots for us. The all-star cast is the highlight of the film. Kyle Allen is awesome as Maxime Gerard. Kenneth Branagh is spectacular as Hercule Poirot. Camille Cottin is fantastic as Olga Seminoff. Jamie Dornan is superb as Dr. Leslie Ferrier. Jude Hill is excellent as Leopold Ferrier. Ali Khan is great as Nicholas Holland. Emma Laird is amazing as Desdemona Holland. Kelly Reilly is outstanding as Rowena Drake. Riccardo Scamarcio is good as Vitale Portfoglio. Michelle Yeoh is unforgettable as Mrs. Reynolds. A Haunting in Venice is a must watch for fans of Kenneth Branagh's Poirot movies & whodunnit fans. Watch it on the big screen & be massively entertained!
