Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

MrMovie Look this movie was... Well it wasn't that it was horrible Now the acting Jesus Christ that was horror at its best But the film was more typical ghost movie cheesy music cheap scares that you saw coming Due to the fact every ghost flick has used them to death already And it felt like I was watching a goosebumps episode It wasn't scary at all In fact the movie was predictable everything was predictable The best way to describe it is you know when you watch a movie and then you watch The movie again you know everything that's going to happen that's what it was like Although I hadn't seen it I saw the scares or should I say the lack of scares coming And knew the ending straight away Here's the lo down A family moves into to a house now the story goes Susan (Lira Kellerman) and Drake (Michael Holmes), a couple become caretakers Of an old mansion now Susan and Drake and their daughter are relentlessly tormented by ghosts who dwell in the house and finally turn to Harrison Dent (Tomas Boykin), who is a paranormal investigator whom they hope may be able to put the house's ghosts to rest.Here's the bad part it was so predictable I guessed the ending within 20 minutes you only have to listen to the dialogue and boom you know the ending Without giving anything away I thought around 10-20 minutes in I said this is what's gonna happen and guess what that's how it ended Second the scares are typical doll comes to life crawls slowly towards the bed And disappears and I thought bet it pops back up and scares the crap Out of her and guess what it did Another scene a blanket floats in the air their daughter slowly walks over to it Ominous music playing I thought she'll pull off the sheet And I bet there's nothing but air and guess what she pulls off the blanket And nothing but air Look it wasn't a bad movie just predictable from the ending the scares you knew they were going to happen before they did

FemalefanLotR This is one of those B films that can only be enjoyed if you like campy low budget films like this one. I personally hates it and thought that this was bad even for studio that made the atrocious Titanic II and other low budget movies. The acting was terrible from all of the cast especially from the actress that played the daughter. How old was the daughter supposed to be? She sounded like she was 6 or 7 but looked like she was 15-16. The writing was bad and the people who wrote it should never be allowed to write another movie again. The make up and FX were terrible, even for a low budget flick. The twist at the end was horrible and I know they said it would be like the ending of The Sixth Sense and The Others. What with characters not knowing they were dead, but those had better twist endings. All in all I'd skip this one and see something better

TheLittleSongbird The Asylum have made a lot of real clunkers, and Haunting of Winchester House adds to that long list. I don't think it is quite down there as one of the absolute worst, but that does not stop it from being a movie with almost no redeeming features. The worst asset is I agree the acting, the worst being from Lira Kellerman and Patty Roberts who act in a very forced and artificial way throughout. Kimberly Ables Jindra is the least bad, she has moments where she is touchingly sincere but it is nothing special or memorable and she like everybody else fails to rise above her material. That's hardly a surprise though, because the dialogue is so inane and awkward that you want to vomit even thinking about it, and the characters are basically cookie-cutter cardboard cut-outs with no personality or development. The story also doesn't work, the telling of it is far too fragmented, random and predictable and it would have been scarier if the pacing hadn't felt like I was riding on the back of a snail, and that the scares didn't feel like a mish-mash of pre-existing horror/haunted house movies with none of the suspense, tension or thrills. Even though it is a haunted house movie, the origin of how it came to be so here was just not there, so everything just felt really underdeveloped, seeing as the movie is nearly an hour and a half there is no excuse for that. It looks very amateurish, the special effects look fake and are utilised far too obviously, the lighting gives the movie a very murky look and the camera shots are so fast and full of face shots and close-ups that it makes the action incoherent. And the music and sound effects are really overdone and just overbear everything. All in all, really as awful as I'd heard and a movie I wish to forget in the long run. 1/10 Bethany Cox

OllieSuave-007 With all the horror movies made in the USA involving a haunted house, you would think one that features one of the most famous haunted places in the world (Winchester Mystery House in San Nose, CA) would feature a unique and compelling story. However, this film fails to deliver that notion and instead is a campy, low-budget, and unoriginal movie.This film was Winchester in name only, elaborating very little on the real-life Winchester Mystery House. Sarah Winchester, the heiress who kept construction on the house going non-stop for 38 years to appease the spirits of those killed by the Winchester firearms, was portrayed as just a lost soul looking for her long lost daughter (why she could not find her daughter in her own darn house is beyond me). There was no effort in elaborating the history behind Sarah Winchester nor the many different rooms, secret chambers, doors and hallways in the house. If you're going to have the Winchester Mystery House portrayed in a film, at least make the characters explore the many different and eerie aspects of the house like the staircase that leads up to the ceiling, door to nowhere, the séance room, Winchester's bedroom, the garden, the 7-11 staircase, emphasis of the number 13, etc. Also, make the effort of having the house located in a city like in real life, rather than sequestered in the woods. Detailing and emphasizing the history and mystery of the house will make the film more unique and original. Instead, the lack thereof makes the film dull and stands out as just another low-budget, ghost-on-the-loose horror flick.Lastly, the acting is absolutely horrible - lack of substance, emotion, depth and drama. It looked as if the actors were ill-prepared for their roles and made very little effort in portraying their characters. I had to cover my eyes a few times just because the acting was so terrible. I have to single out the actress who played "Susan Grenier." I think she is the worse actor in the film who, at times, tries too hard to be realistic (i.e., forcing out tears when she cries).Overall, if you're bored and looking for a good horror movie to pass the time (like I was), you might be better off choosing to watch something else!
