If you didn't catch this in cinemas back in September, or feel like rewatching now that the Halloween weekend is over, fret not.

Featuring actors Kenneth Branagh, Kelly Reilly, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh and Ali Khan, A Haunting in Venice is a mystery film based on Agatha Christie's novel Hallowe'en Party.

Set in post-World War Two Venice, the story follows retired detective Hercule Poirot (played by Kenneth) as he reluctantly goes to a seance – a meeting where people try to communicate with the dead – at a decaying, haunted palazzo. When one of the guests is murdered, Hercule is forced to face a sinister world of shadows and secrets.

A Haunting in Venice is available now on Disney+.

His vengeful spirit then possesses Han Jun-oh's body (also Young-dae), a popular movie star in modern-day South Korea, to take revenge on the woman (Ye-jin) who killed him 1,500 years ago.
