Kenneth Branagh Deliberately Scared Actors On Haunting In Venice To Play Up Horror Movie Vibes

A Haunting in Venice director Kenneth Branagh had a trick up his sleeve when it came to creating the movie’s creepy atmosphere. A Haunting in Venice is the third movie in Branagh’s series of Agatha Christie adaptations in which he stars as her iconic Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. The movie, which takes place on Halloween Night in a supposedly haunted Venetian palazzo, takes on the tone of a horror movie rather than the more straightforward whodunits of the previous movies Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile.
