Massive spoilers for "A Haunting in Venice" follow.
The adventures of Hercule Poirot — "probably the greatest detective in the world," as he once so humbly referred to himself — have been well documented by this point. Beginning with Agatha Christie's literary accounts of the detective's cases, the character continued to thrive beyond his creator's passing in 1976, with other authors concocting new mysteries for Poirot to solve.
Of course, Christie's Poirot output, stretching as it did from 1920-1975, was ripe for adaptation to other mediums, and indeed Poirot has turned up numerous times in everything from stage plays to radio dramas to television shows to, of course, the movies. By the time director/star Kenneth Branagh made his way to bringing Poirot back to the big screen on both sides of the camera, most of the best Poirot stories had already been adapted in one form or another.

A supernatural-thriller inspired by Agatha Christie’s novel Hallowe’en Party, Oscar® winning filmmaker Kenneth Branagh (“Belfast”) directs A Haunting in Venice, which brings the iconic character Hercule Poirot out on the high seas for a terrifying horror adventure.
This is the first horror movie from Branagh since Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein back in 1994, grafting a spooky skin onto his critically acclaimed tales of Hercule Poirot. You know horror is hot when Oscar winning filmmakers are making horror movies, and it’s always exciting to see non-horror franchises dipping their toes into the genre. Watch the trailer below.
Featuring a screenplay by Oscar nominee Michael Green (“Logan”), A Haunting in Venice was filmed at Pinewood Studios outside London and on location in Venice.
A brilliant acting ensemble portraying a cast of unforgettable characters will be featured, including Kenneth Branagh, Kyle Allen (“Rosaline”), Camille Cottin (“Call My Agent”), Jamie Dornan (“Belfast...

Stars: Dustin Prince, Angelina Danielle Cama, Erika Hoveland, Scout Taylor-Compton, Keir Gilchrist, Billy Boyd, Sam Logan Khaleghi | Written and Directed by Nicholas Holland
As An Intrusion begins, Sam Hodges (Dustin Prince) has a secret, a recently ended affair with one of his co-workers. Almost immediately after he ended it bad stuff starts happening. His house and car are broken into, his daughter Rebecca stalked and his wife Joyce (Erika Hoveland) threatened. An obvious case of fatal attraction, right?
But as the incidents get more severe the police, including Detective Simpson, start digging deeper into the matter. And it begins to look like an affair may not be Sam’s only secret or even his darkest. Judging by the number of films like An Intrusion that Lifetime airs, there’s a big audience for these kinds of thrillers. Can it stand above the crowd and steal some of that audience.
