Night 16 of #OctoberMovieMarathon. This time featuring me, Larry, Matthew, Mary, Alison, Brenda, Elena, and Jim! Thanks for coming everyone!
Winchester (2018)
4/5 (for Winchesterites)
2.5/5 (for the normal viewer)
The directors and writers did their homework, and though mot 100% accurate, they get the spirit of the house. Sarah's no nonsense attitude, the workers diligence and tight lips, even the ghosts. Plus the overarching theme of letting go of grief ad anger is touching.
But the story is flat and the scares too well telegraphed to have much effect beyond the initial jump. There could have been more to the story to connect it to the house and Sarah. Though the costumes and set are beautiful to look at.
For sure worth a watch if you work at Winchie. If you don't, watch if you want a diet horror movie.
