Sherlock Holmes

In Sherlock Holmes (2009), we follow the brilliant but eccentric detective Sherlock Holmes and his loyal friend Dr. Watson as they find themselves embroiled in a strange and dark case. Lord Blackwood, a powerful man convicted of a series of gruesome murders, is sentenced to death. But even after his execution, rumors begin to swirl that he has somehow risen from the grave, leaving London in a state of fear and panic. Holmes, always eager for a puzzle, dives into the investigation, determined to uncover the truth behind Blackwood’s supposed resurrection.

As Holmes and Watson piece together clues, they uncover a web of secret societies, dark rituals, and strange occurrences that defy logic. With Blackwood seemingly one step ahead at every turn, the case grows more dangerous, pushing Holmes’ legendary skills of deduction to their limits. All the while, Watson, ready to settle down with his fiancée, finds himself reluctantly pulled into Holmes’ chaotic world once again.

The deeper they go, the more perilous the mystery becomes. Holmes faces a deadly opponent who seems to wield both political influence and supernatural powers, leaving them racing against time to prevent an even greater disaster. But is Blackwood truly defying death, or is something far more sinister at play?

Glass Onion

In Glass Onion (2022), world-famous detective Benoit Blanc finds himself invited to a private island for a lavish weekend getaway hosted by tech billionaire Miles Bron. The island is a playground of luxury, and Bron has a group of eclectic guests, each with their own complex pasts and secrets. What was meant to be a fun mystery game quickly takes a dark turn when someone ends up dead, and the real mystery begins.

As Blanc starts digging into the tangled lives of the guests, tensions rise, and hidden agendas come to light. Each guest has a motive, and nothing is quite as it seems. Old friendships unravel, shocking revelations emerge, and Blanc must navigate through the web of deceit and lies to find the truth. The island, once a symbol of wealth and power, becomes a claustrophobic setting where danger lurks around every corner.

Blanc’s sharp mind is put to the test as he uncovers layer after layer of intrigue, realizing that the truth is more complicated than he could have imagined. With the stakes growing higher and the list of suspects narrowing, the puzzle becomes more dangerous—and solving it might come with deadly consequences.

Murder on the Orient Express

In Murder on the Orient Express (2017), world-renowned detective Hercule Poirot is looking forward to a peaceful journey on the luxurious Orient Express. But, naturally, peace doesn’t last long when a wealthy and mysterious passenger is found dead in his cabin. Strangely enough, he was stabbed a dozen times, and yet somehow, not a single person on this fancy train seems to know anything about it. Suspicious? Very.

Poirot’s keen eye for detail kicks in, and he begins his investigation, interviewing an eclectic group of passengers, each more suspicious than the last. A glamorous actress, a sketchy salesman, a secretive governess—everyone has a story, and none of them quite add up. As the train is forced to a halt by a snowstorm in the mountains, the tension thickens. There’s no escape, and one of them must be the killer.

With every clue Poirot uncovers, the mystery deepens. Everyone seems to have a motive, and the deeper he digs, the more twisted the connections become. The clock is ticking, and the truth seems to be hiding behind a web of lies, deception, and dark secrets. It’s a classic “who done it,” but the real question is, can even Poirot solve a puzzle this complex before it’s too late?

Death on the Nile

In Death on the Nile (2022), Hercule Poirot is just trying to enjoy a peaceful vacation on a luxurious riverboat, floating down the Nile. Of course, it’s not long before someone turns up dead. This time, it’s a young, fabulously wealthy bride who seemingly had it all—money, beauty, and a new husband. But as Poirot soon realizes, nothing about this group of high-society travelers is as perfect as it seems.

With the ship isolated in the middle of the Egyptian waters, Poirot has no choice but to dig into the lives of the glamorous passengers. Among them: jealous ex-lovers, scheming friends, and a bitter maid—all with perfectly good reasons to want the bride dead. As the detective starts questioning everyone, it becomes clear that this isn’t just a simple case of passion gone wrong. Secrets, betrayals, and old grudges begin to surface, and suddenly, everyone looks like they could be the murderer.

As more chilling discoveries are made, the tension builds. Poirot is racing against time to solve the mystery before the killer strikes again, all while trapped on a ship full of people who seem to have forgotten how to tell the truth. In this glamorous yet dangerous setting, the stakes couldn’t be higher, and the line between love and hate couldn’t be thinner.

Murder Mystery

In Murder Mystery (2019), Nick and Audrey Spitz, a married couple from New York, decide to take a long-overdue European vacation to spice up their mundane lives. Things get interesting fast when they’re invited aboard a billionaire’s lavish yacht. Casual tourists one moment, they’re suddenly rubbing elbows with the ultra-wealthy, sipping champagne, and thinking they’ve hit the jackpot. But then—surprise!—someone gets murdered.

As if being the broke outsiders wasn’t enough, Nick and Audrey are now prime suspects in a high-society whodunit. With no experience and zero clues, they stumble through a twisted web of suspicious characters that range from conniving heirs to sneaky family members, all of whom have excellent motives to kill. And because nothing says “romantic getaway” like running from the police, they soon find themselves dodging international law enforcement across picturesque European landscapes.

With each step, the mystery deepens, but so does their confusion. Audrey’s obsession with detective novels and Nick’s questionable cop instincts suddenly have to come in handy—if they can stop bickering long enough to solve the case. As bodies start piling up and secrets are revealed, it’s clear that this accidental adventure isn’t just about survival. They’ll need every ounce of wit (and luck) to outsmart the real killer hiding in plain sight.
