A Haunting in Venice

• Mystery
• Thriller
• Crime

In a post-World War II Venice steeped in perpetual twilight, a skeptical Hercule Poirot is drawn into a chilling investigation within a crumbling palazzo during a Halloween séance. This isn’t a traditional whodunit focused on deduction, but a descent into the psychological fragility of a man grappling with his own fading belief in logic and reason, haunted by past loss. The film utilizes a claustrophobic atmosphere, blurring the lines between reality and illusion, where grieving family members and a charismatic medium expose vulnerabilities and hidden resentments. Inspired by a lesser-known Christie novel, the story prioritizes mounting dread and unsettling ambiguity over clever reveals, crafting a mood of gothic suspense and exploring the seductive danger of seeking solace in the supernatural when confronted with unresolvable grief.
