The murder mystery is based on Christie’s 1969 novel “Hallowe’en Party.” Set in a post-World War II Venice on All Hallows’ Eve, the story follows a mystery featuring the celebrated sleuth Hercule Poirot (Branagh) as he reluctantly attends a séance at a haunted palazzo. After one of the guests is murdered, the former detective must once again find out who did it.

In his review, Variety film critic Todd Gilchrist wrote that “Branagh, once again pulling double duty as the film’s star and director, anchors this (possibly) supernatural digression from the shoe-leather sleuthing of earlier Hercule Poirot stories with appropriate theatricality, while playful turns from a shrewdly selected supporting cast elevate the case from just another murder mystery to suitably arch gothic horror.”

The film also stars Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, a medium who appears to summon Alicia’s spirit during the séance, and Tina Fey, a mystery novelist who made her name by fictionalizing the misadventures of the Belgian detective. Jude Hill, Kelly Reilly and Jamie Dornan also star.

The film will be available for subscribers to stream on Hulu, just in time to cap off its iconic Huluween celebration, and available to buy on digital October 31 from all major digital retailers, including Prime Video and Apple TV.
