Winchester stars Dame Helen Mirren as heiress Sarah Winchester, who had seen a medium and then spent years building a 7-story labyrinthine house under the belief that the weapons her family produced caused the spirits to curse and pursue her and her kin. The period horror film, set in the early 1900s, explores the premise that the multitude of rooms contain the upset spirits of those killed by the arms, sealing them away until they make peace with their demise. Dame Helen Mirren provides a strong performance while the rest of the cast try to support what amounts to every haunted house and ghost story trope that can be crammed into the running time. Lavish period sets, faithful costumes and a film palette that lends both an spooky and aged look help sell the time period, but the film seems as lost as the souls trapped in the ever-expanding, odious house.
