Directed by the Spierig brothers, Winchester looks like a true, fancy horror story. The movie follows Sarah Winchester, played by Oscar-winner Helen Mirren, who lives on an isolated stretch of land 50 miles outside of San Francisco, where the most haunted house in the world is built. Sarah Winchester is the heiress to the Winchester fortune from the famous Winchester rifles, and she continues to build her house 24/7. A true mania that lasts for decades.

But Sarah is not building for herself, for her niece, played by Sarah Snook or for the troubled Doctor Eric Price, played by Jason Clarke, whom she has summoned to the house. She is building a prison, an asylum for hundreds of vengeful ghosts. The most terrifying among them have a score to settle with the Winchesters.

The Winchester house is a well-known tourist attraction. Even though I live in Northern California, I have never visited this house, but friends have told me about it, and I have seen the billboards around Interstate 80 promoting the Winchester House as a mysterious home, with nothing about it being haunted.

The Winchester Blu-ray/DVD is available, and I recommend you stream or buy it.

Great interview with the directors. They explain the story and the life of Sarah Winchester. They even cover that it is a horror movie, and I wonder if it is haunted.

The trailer shows a horror movie at its best. This movie will be fun, especially with Mirren in the starring role.
