'A Haunting in Venice' is an edge-of-your-seat thriller filled with twists and turns

The new murder mystery hits theaters this weekend, inspired by one of the genre's greatest writers, Agatha Christie.

A new murder mystery reaches theaters this weekend inspired by one of the genre's greatest writers, Agatha Christie. "A Haunting in Venice" is the third time Kenneth Branagh has played Christie's most famous creation, the Belgian detective named Hercule Poirot. This is also the third time the Oscar winner has directed himself in the role.

Hercule Poirot, played by the director himself, is on the case again in a film inspired by one of Agatha Christie's lesser-known stories. She wrote a character based on herself and played here by Tina Fey. "Luckily for me," Fey jokes, "playing a desperate female writer is in a wheelhouse I am already inhabiting!" Inhabiting with humor, of course, but the star shows new depth as the person who sparks the plot by luring Poirot out of retirement.

Both Fey and Branagh's characters suspect that a medium, played by Michelle Yeoh, is a fraud. But can they prove it? "I will not believe such things," says Poirot, but strange stuff keeps happening during a seance. Branagh notes that, "Michelle brings to Joyce Reynolds that quality that has the audience lean forward from the moment she appears."
