Kenneth Branagh’s A HAUNTING IN VENICE Gets Disturbing Feature Film and Poster Collection

We have a behind-the-scenes featurette to watch Kenneth Branaghthe next supernatural horror mystery thriller by An obsession in Venicewhich inspires it Agatha Christie’s novel Halloween party. I’ve also included a collection of posters, most of which highlight the film’s main characters.

Branagh reprises his role as Hercule Poirot and the story sees him embarking on a disturbing supernatural adventure. I actually love that the next film in the Branagh series is a horror film, and it looks like it’s going to be good!

The new featurette offers some interesting story insights as the cast and crew talk about what they were trying to do with this film. They had a little fun making this movie as Branagh explains that they didn’t tell the cast about some of the weird things that would happen while they were making the movie.

Set in post-WWII Venice on the eve of All Saints’ Day, A Haunting in Venice is “a terrifying mystery with the return of the celebrated detective, Hercule Poirot. Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the most glamorous city in the world, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance in a rundown and haunted mansion. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.

Branagh previously said in a statement: “This is a fantastic development of the character of Hercule Poirot, as well as the Agatha Christie franchise. Based on a complex and little-known mystery story set on Halloween in a picturesquely captivating city, it’s an incredible opportunity for us, as filmmakers, and we’re relishing the opportunity to deliver something truly chilling for our loyal cinematic audience.
