First Glance: “A Haunting in Venice”

What can I say, I’ve been a sucker for Kenneth Branagh’s star-studded adventures of Hercule Poirot. Branagh has directed and starred in 2017’s “Murder on the Orient Express” and 2022’s “Death on the Nile”. Now he returns with “A Haunting in Venice”, his third Agatha Christie adaptation that follows the ace detective as he solves murders across various exotic locations. The latest trailer is a lot of fun and it looks like Branagh is having a blast with the supernatural twist.

This time around we see Branagh’s Poirot take on a supernatural mystery in (obviously) Venice. Retired and living a quite life alone, Poirot reluctantly finds himself back on a case after a guest is murdered during a séance at an old and supposedly haunted palazzo. Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Dornan, Kyle Allen, Tina Fey, Kelly Reilly, Camille Cottin, Jude Hill, Emma Laird, and Ricardo Scamarcio fill out yet another intriguing cast – something the series has been known for. I’m in.

“A Haunting in Venice” hits theaters September 15th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

  1. I’m not sure about this as I only saw some of the first film and I didn’t bother seeing the last one. I don’t know though I do like Branagh in that mustache.

  2. I first saw Kenneth Branaugh in the movie, “The Final Solution” which I abhorred the intent of the Nazi’s to discuss how to eliminate the Jews, but his performance was riveting.
