The eerie trailer for Oscar® winner Kenneth Branagh’s spooky ghostly thriller “A Haunting in Venice,” from 20th Century Studios and based on Agatha Christie’s “Halloween Party,” is now available.

The scary mystery “A Haunting in Venice” is set on All Hallows’ Eve in spooky post-World War II Venice and features the reappearance of renowned detective Hercule Poirot.

The detective is drawn into a dark, secretive society when one of the guests is murdered.

The movie, which is based on Agatha Christie’s novel “Halloween Party,” is directed by Kenneth Branagh and written by Oscar® nominee Michael Green. It reunites many of the filmmakers from 2017’s “Murder on the Orient Express” and 2022’s “Death on the Nile.” Ridley Scott, Simon Kinberg, Judy Hofflund, and Kenneth Branagh are the producers; Louise Killin, James Prichard, and Mark Gordon are the executive producers.
