Winchester

under-the-corsican-stars shared a tip "Starts out good, but loses its bite as it goes on. I'm not going to lie: I was a little disappointed that it was a supernatural horror rather than psychological, but I digress. Many of the rules of how the ghosts in this world work feel arbitrary and poorly thought out. About three quarters through the movie the writers decided to abandon all rationale and decency and try to have the audience sympathize with a confederate soldier who killed six innocents post-war. The last I'll say is that this movie didn't need a twist but, if the writers felt that they needed one so desperately, they could have chosen one that wasn't so convoluted."

zay_r shared a tip "I couldn’t get into it, the build felt extremely slow. Found it boring and I personally didn’t find it scary at all. I get the vibe they were going for but it wasn’t hitting. Knowing the origin and conspiracies over the Winchester this movie was just disappointing."

cynthia_paul shared a tip "I mean I didn’t hate it. It had a level of cheese to it that I couldn’t get passed. This movie is an example of a good idea that didn’t pan out. It’s good if your not a huge horror movie buff who knows all the tropes."

rebecca_bella shared a tip "Helen Mirren is amazing, as always, in this based on a true story movie. So interesting, especially if you have an idea of the history. Great movie!"

kenzieb shared a tip "I watched this with some friends at a sleepover a few years ago. There are jump scares and the plot was kinda interesting especially since it’s based off a true story. We got bored though, we didn’t want to finish the movie but we did. This movie had a lot more potential."

mark_bloomstein shared a tip "Addresses the true story of the matriarch of the Winchester Fortune and her eccentricities... It's an interesting Google and Wikipedia deep dive after you watch this movie but the horror aspect is just silly."

ki_coles shared a tip "I would definitely rate this the best simply for the take on how the actress played Sarah Winchester considering how there hasn't been much exploration in the woman of history. It was also fascinating how they put together the idea surrounding the doors and spirits or how the construction of the house was. It was as close to truth as it was fictitious. #horror #mystery #netflix #supernatural #dark"

greg_gory_9206 shared a tip "This was packed with every single haunted house trope, but without the charm to back them up. I didn't mind the acting, and the story of The Winchester mansion has a lot of potential to turn into a story; unfortunately, this movie struck out. The mood rarely changes. You can tell the director knew this, because it is infested with typical jump scares just to keep you watching. You'd have more fun waiting for all this to blow over at the fictional pub than watching this one 😉"

makayla_alianell shared a tip "Helen Mirren definitely portrays Sarah Winchester beautifully in this movie. Since this movie is based off of the true story I think is what pulled me in the most. It's definitely a thriller and there's a few jumps but overall I think it's a fantastic movie. You don't even have to research or know the actual story to understand what's going on. Definitely worth the watch to me."

joanna_bryant shared a tip "One of the best ghost stories I've watched in years. I love the fact that so much of this is true and not totally fabricated for television. Very compelling. #hauntedhouse #thriller #truestory"

gina_borden_dunlap shared a tip "I began watching this movie fully expecting to be disappointed, but was pleasantly surprised to find it holding my interest all the way to the end. Although the skeptic in me finds it hard to believe it's based on true events from the past, I like the movie and would recommend it to anyone who's interested in this genre. 👌🏻"

towerhaunt shared a tip "It has perfect layers that when you unravel them naturally it's so satisfying. The acting is incredible and characters natural and the plot perfectly understandable."

trentonlovesmovies shared a tip "the fact that EVERYTIME I try to watch this movie I fall asleep, says a lot. full of non-effective jump scares. and it’s overall just boring. the trailer made me really excited for this movie but I’m definitely disappointed."
