Death comes for everyone in the latest trailer for the whodunnit sequel, A Haunting in Venice. Coming courtesy of 20th Century Studios, A Haunting in Venice finds Academy Award winner and renowned Thespian Kenneth Branagh back in the director’s chair as well as once again donning what must be a high maintenance mustache as “probably the greatest detective in the world” Hercule Poirot. You can check out the latest look at A Haunting in Venice below.

A Haunting in Venice is set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve, and has been described as a terrifying mystery featuring the return of the celebrated sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Now retired and living in self-imposed exile in the world’s most glamorous city, Poirot reluctantly attends a séance at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, the detective is thrust into a sinister world of shadows and secrets.

The unsettling supernatural thriller based upon the novel “Hallowe’en Party” by Agatha Christie and directed by and starring Oscar winner Kenneth Branagh as famed detective Hercule Poirot, A Haunting in Venice follows on from Murder on the Orient Express in 2017 and last year’s Death on the Nile.

“This is a fantastic development of the character Hercule Poirot, as well as the Agatha Christie franchise,” Branagh said of the latest Poirot outing. “Based on a complex, little-known tale of mystery set at Halloween in a pictorially ravishing city, it is an amazing opportunity for us, as filmmakers, and we are relishing the chance to deliver something truly spine-chilling for our loyal movie audiences.”
