A bizarrely unremarkable slog that takes an interesting idea and does absolutely nothing with it.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 21, 2022

The movie resolves to check every box of a modern supernatural horror flick, and through that, the surprisingly talented cast doesn't have much to do.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 14, 2022

The stereotyping of Black and Indigenous men are made worse by the fact they never speak, nor do they have any backstories.

| Original Score: D | Nov 18, 2021

There's a topical and truthful message at the center of this film -- it's just a shame it gets wasted in a movie as mediocre as this one.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 29, 2021

You will probably find you get more of a fright from reading the Wikipedia page than you would watching this misfire.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 30, 2020

[A] feature comprised of hot air when it isn't punctuated by an unintentional giggle or a slap to the back of the head in the form of one of its many jump scares.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 23, 2020

Winchester squanders the potential in its true story inspiration, and not even the ghosts can bring life to this haunted house tale.

| Jul 17, 2020

Directors Michael and Peter Spierig, reworking a script by Tom Vaughan, bring little passion or eloquence to the dialogue, frustrating such capable actors as Helen Mirren (playing Winchester) and Jason Clarke.

There are some clever set pieces, and occasionally we get a good sense of the strange reality behind the horror artifice. Occasionally isn't enough, though, and we could have had something special. It's not a bad movie, just a disappointing one.

No "scary movie" cliché is left unexplored in Winchester...

| Nov 7, 2019

Lazy, prefabricated, and turned down by a script with serious internal coherence problems. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Jul 25, 2019

Its cheap jump scares follow one another at a cruising speed, based on sound effects or worn-out tricks, and the film does not have a particularly original atmosphere. [Full Review in Spanish]

At this point in her career, Helen Mirren gets to dress like Marilyn Manson's dresser doily and yell at the ghost of a confederate soldier any time she pleases. The biggest problem with Winchester is it's nowhere near trashy enough to be captivating.

| Original Score: C- | Jun 18, 2019

There's so much potential in this story that it's a shame the final product turned out to be such a ludicrous mishmash of tired genre tropes.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 3, 2019

All jump scares. No relatable characters.

| Original Score: D | May 9, 2019

The same standard jump-scare haunted house movie that you've seen so many times before,

| Apr 25, 2019

This house is filled with stale air.

| Apr 10, 2019

This film is slightly above average.

| Mar 9, 2019

It's really boring and not scary in the slightest.

| Original Score: D | Feb 26, 2019

This movie is a lot of a mess, and I don't know if I recommend that you see this. I couldn't believe it.
