You can enjoy a ghostly mystery from the comfort of your couch this Halloween. Hercule Poirot returns in A Haunting In Venice, streaming on Hulu October 31.
The spooky mystery sees Kenneth Branaugh reprise his role as Detective Poirot, a character created by esteemed author Agatha Christie. This latest film draws inspiration from Christie’s novel Hallowe’en Party.
A Haunting in Venice is set in eerie, post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve. 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.
In addition to Branaugh, the film’s ensemble cast includes Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Jude Hill, Ali Khan, Emma Laird, Kelly Reilly, Riccardo Scamarcio, and Michelle Yeoh.
A Haunting In Venice will begin streaming on Hulu October 31, capping off the platform’s “Huluween” seasonal programming. For those who don’t subscribe to Hulu or just prefer to purchase films digitally, the movie will also be available to buy from Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango/Vudu starting on Halloween. For physical media collectors, you’ll need to wait a little longer; DVD/Blu-ray copies of A Haunting in Venice will hit retailers November 28.
A Haunting In Venice marks Branaugh’s third outing directing and starring in a Poirot mystery feature, following Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile. As of October 31, all three films will be streaming on Hulu. So, you can craft your own little Poirot movie marathon.
