In Theaters: February 2, 2018

There is only one wide release this weekend.

Winchester


I guess a lot of people like horror movies because they just keep making them.

My readers know I don't care for horror movies.  As a genre they are overwhelmingly derivative and cheap.  This one looks somewhere in between the really good ones and the really bad ones.  It doesn't look horrible.  It would probably keep you entertained once.

In what looks like the late 1800's, some old woman played by Helen Mirren keeps adding to her house, Winchester Manor.  The construction makes no sense.  Stairs here, a room there, a door wherever.  So Jason Clarke plays the doctor sent in to figure out if she's gone mad.  It turns out she's doing it to keep the ghosts confused or something.  Anyway the house is haunted and the ghosts get out and cause trouble.  You know the drill.

Winchester is rated PG-13 for violence, disturbing images, drug content, some sexual material and thematic elements.
