Reviews:

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.

_Final rating:★★ – Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

**A movie as empty as a haunted house.**

I fully understand the fascination with Winchester Mystery House, an old mansion that was born from Sarah Winchester’s will and ideas: owner of a fortune linked to the firearm’s industry, she thought she was being haunted by the ghosts of people killed by these weapons and was advised by a medium to live in a mansion that was always being remodeled, with rooms and divisions permanently being added or demolished in an apparently random way. Sarah Winchester truly believed that she would be killed if she stopped or finished the building, so the house was only completed (obviously unended) with her death, and then opened to the public as a tourist attraction. It’s a fascinating, curious and bizarre story, but it took a long time to reach the cinema.

The movie, however, is not remarkable, being just another ghost story in a haunted house. The Spierig Brothers (directors and writers) do not bring anything new to their film, limiting themselves to using almost all the regular clichés of American horror, including static and scary images that appear out of nowhere (at quite predictable moments) for the usual jump scares. As a haunted house horror movie, I’ve seen better.

One of the biggest problems of the film is the poor script and the bad conception of the characters. The two brothers who wrote the script were so enamored with the mysterious house that they weren’t able to create a really intriguing story around it, and its original inhabitant. Everything goes reasonably well from the point where the doctor arrives at the mansion, but the preceding story, which justifies his trip and stay at the place, is very far-fetched. On the other hand, the melodramatic twist at the end, involving the doctor and a ghost from his past, was predictable from the beginning and is very nauseating. Poorly written and almost without personality, the characters just appear, talk and disappear without our caring about them. And as if the truth were not enough to make us believe in the possible curse of the Winchester family, the script got a completely made up story for Marion Marriott, niece (and heiress) of the manor owner. She existed in real life, but her life wasn’t what the movie says, and her husband didn’t die as it is said. It is a pointless and unnecessary invention.

The cast has a handful of familiar names, but maybe they don’t really want to be remembered for the work they’ve done here. In fact, the cast effort is reduced, and the prevailing feeling is that the actors were not really committed or motivated. If Helen Mirren is the most seasoned and famous actress in the cast, the truth is that she is never really there, in body and mind. She seems oblivious, or uninterested. Jason Clarke still seems to have some interest in what he’s doing, and I felt the actor tried to do something positive, but he won’t have had much of an opportunity to go beyond what he’s done.

The film is not a technical brilliance. There have been attempts to film in the original house, but we are told that the very design of the house, with cramped spaces and low light, will not be ideal for movie shooting. Personally, I also believe that the organization that is managing the property has shown some reluctance to allow it, since they have always had, until today, great restraint in allowing the capture of images of the interior of the house. Everything that was recreated in the studio seems to me to be very well done, and I liked the sets and the house. However, the production values ​​basically stop here… the cinematography is pretty basic and the editing is banal, but it manages to give the film a pace that isn’t tiresome. The props and period details look convincing, but the CGI is poor, the digitally made images are of very poor quality, and the visual and sound effects seem cheap and elementary.

Pretty standard chiller
I saw this during matinee it was worth the $8… Some of the spooky parts were indeed spooky. Not amazing, but not horrendous

Winchester
I remember seeing previews of this last year (its release in February), thinking, “Mirren in an early 1900s ghost story portraying an eccentric rifle company widow who continued to add onto a mansion estate until death seems quite intriguing”. Then I forgot about it. It was on late last night, so I thought, “Why not?” It suffered from extensive critical ridicule, Razzies spooking the film, Mirren couldn’t even escape from the wave of bad press. I’ll have to agree with some of it, particularly its cliche jump scares and telegraphed sound effects and editing. It’s formula especially when telling its paranormal back/forward story of exactly what/who haunts Sarah Winchester (Mirren) and the halls, rooms, closets, grounds, and relatives (mainly taking hold of her niece’s son). Sarah continues to add rooms to the mansion, as more stories and extensions recreated by ghosts that possess her into drawing exact places they died in sketches serve as the architectural plans her always-working construction crew and builders use throughout days and nights. It is definitely of the what goes bump in the night? & who goes there? variety. Included in the story as our guide into this eccentric’s story is a laudanum addicted therapist hired by the Winchester arms company to determine if Sarah is too mentally incompetent to be 50% in charge…is her claims about the ghosts of Winchester rifle victims haunting her estate ravings of a madwoman or legit? Jason Clarke (the father in the upcoming reimagining of Pet Sematary) is the inquisitive therapist who suffered a near-death experience we later learn was caused by his wife, shooting him accidentally before turning the Winchester rifle on herself. Sara Snook is Marion, the widow niece of Sarah Winchester, and Fin Scicluna-O’Prey is Henry, Marion’s son, often possessed with a sack over his head and eyes albino and colorless. The seeming manservant, Ben Block (Eamon Farren), becomes an important character even as he seems relatively minor for a bit. The house come-apart and main ghost going after (and into) Sarah are to be expected, with Clarke’s Dr. Price having his own experiences, of course, following closely to the formula. The film is not just a slow burn, it’s molasses-out-of-a-jar paced. This is what draws out the boring criticisms, along with the kill me please exclamations in between the languishing periods of investigation by Clarke throughout the house and desperate attempts to jolt you. Still, I credit the technical achievements that fit this film nicely in the conversation with The Crimson Peak and The Woman in Black. The house–its decor, furnishings, period bannisters, architectural design, and endless places to walk and escape into and out of–is incredible. The camera and editing brings the house to life impressively. Costume and art direction, first-rate. Money was well spent. I was surprised to see that the budget was slight considering how everything looks quite exquisite and expensive, but turned quite a profit. It’s just this film feels much longer than it is and really doesn’t reach out from its genre formula requiring necessary viewing. If you like the old traditional ghost story with Hollywood bells and whistles (and modern film tricks), this might serve as a forgettable diversion. As far as Mirren goes, she isn’t as bad as her Razzie nom might lead you to believe. She’s serviceable and does her due diligence to get over her character’s situation, emphasizing the balance between hysterical and tormented. We need to see the toll her guilt and lingering haunting has weighted upon her. The climax is the effects heavy paranormal tsunami you come to anticipate.

****Clarke’s addiction is a subplot of itself as Sarah wants him clear-minded, Marion isn’t fond of her deceased husband and doesn’t even try to hide her contempt for him, Henry has scenes possessed where he drops two stories and is saved by Dr Price and later firing a Winchester at Sarah, and Marion takes great displeasure for how her aunt is reputed. The company out to get her through Price’s diagnosis is a sticking point in the film****
