A chilling murder mystery awaits  in 'A Haunting in Venice'

Experience a chilling murder mystery in “A Haunting in Venice,” 20th Century Studios’ newest supernatural thriller based on Agatha Christie’s “Halloween Party." Enter the world of world-famous detective Hercule Poirot as he tries to uncover a new case.

To welcome the film to Philippine cinemas, multiple screening events were held in Metro Manila and Cebu. Avid Agatha Christie and detective mystery fans  enjoyed posing on the Venetian streets, and even got to experience the seance room as seen in the film.

Set in the picturesque city of Venice, Italy, detective Poirot (Kenneth Branagh) lives a quiet life away from the rest of the world after witnessing crime, death, and a war. As much as he does his best to avoid crimes and solve mysteries, crime will always come to him.

A visit from an old friend, mystery writer Ariadne Oliver (Tina Fey), changes everything. She invites Poirot to a nighttime seance of renowned mystic Joyce Reynolds (Michelle Yeoh) to expose her spectacle as nothing but a farce. However, this seance turned into cold-blooded murder after a death during the ritual occurred. With a murder at hand and a culprit that’s seemingly from beyond the grave, it’s up to Poirot to solve another mystery before the night becomes worse.

“A Haunting in Venice” is directed by Branagh, who also stars in the film as its lead, and produced also by Branagh, Judy Hofflund, Ridley Scott, and Simon Kinberg, with James Prichard, Louise Killin, and Mark Gordon serving as executive producers.

Now showing in cinemas, the film features a cast that includes Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly, Riccardo Scamarcio, and Michelle Yeoh.
