      Critics Consensus

      Like a grand staircase within the famous mansion that inspired it, Winchester appears poised to get a rise out of audiences, but ultimately leads nowhere. Read critic reviews

      Movie Info

      The most haunted house in the world sits on an isolated stretch of land that's 50 miles outside of San Francisco. Built by Sarah Winchester, heiress to the Winchester fortune, it stands seven stories tall and contains hundreds of rooms. To an outsider, it looks like a monstrous monument to a disturbed woman's madness. But Sarah's actually building a prison, an asylum for hundreds of vengeful ghosts -- and the most terrifying among them have a score to settle with the Winchesters.

      Audience Reviews for Winchester

      • Dec 28, 2018

        This is a by the numbers horror film that poorly attempts to use the Winchester house for its central storyline. The biggest error the filmmakers adopt is such a cliche storyline. The filmmakers attempted to resurrect Jigsaw with mixed results, but this film never overcomes the concept section of the story. Jason Clarke is a talented actor and MIrren should have known better than to star in this film. The actors come out of this unscathed, but the damage the filmmakers shows on the audience score. Disappointing horror film that can't overcome a lacklustre script. 25/12/2018.

        Inspired by a "true" story, Winchester is an atmospheric supernatural thriller. While visiting the estate of eccentric heiress Sarah Winchester to conduct a mental health assessment, Doctor Eric Price notices several strange occurrences, including an attack on Mrs. Winchester, and learns that she's constructing an elaborate series of rooms to contain the ghosts of those who died violent deaths at the hands of Winchester firearms. Helen Mirren and Jason Clarke lead the cast and delivers fairly solid performances. But the storytelling is rather poor and the director doesn't really explore the strange and bizarre design of the house to any great degree. Still, there's an interesting mystery as to who or what is behind the attacks at the house. And, there are a number of creepy and suspenseful moments. Yet overall, Winchester is a mediocre horror film that doesn't live up to the mystery of the real house and the woman who built it.

        If you have nothing better to do, it may help as a pastime. Apparently, only once.

        Given the cast assembled and the events it's based on, I'm sure you'll forgive me for having at least some expectations for Winchester. Whatever those expectations were though, I can tell you right now, they weren't met. Winchester was massively disappointing, as by-the-numbers as you can get, and if it wasn't for a couple of good performances and the occasional decent effect, it would have literally nothing to offer.
