In that garden room, Ruby’s ghost re-enacts the murder-suicide and then tells Dr. Price realizes that a garden room built in the Winchester estate is meant for him and Ruby’s ghost to reach closure. Ruby tries to kill him-and also kills herself after years of his disbelief, which Winchester shares after Dr. Price of the existence of the supernatural, but he diagnosed her as delusional.

Only one meaningful conversation takes place, once it is revealed that Marion’s son Henry is being possessed. But the women never really engage with each other onscreen. The relationship between Sarah and Marion is presented as a central one, and we hear Marion discussing her aunt with Dr. For example, in scenes that take place at the Winchester mansion, the construction workers, staff, and even ghosts are mostly men. Alongside its male protagonist, the film generally casts more men than women into both speaking and background, silent roles. Price enjoys primary status as he works through his own trauma and experiences with the supernatural. Perhaps the single most frustrating aspect of the movie is how it doesn’t feel like Sarah’s story at all. Unfortunately, Winchester doesn’t really engage with that concept past its clichéd supernatural angle. Can he help save Sarah, her niece Marion (Sarah Snook), and Henry from whatever evil spirit is trying to kill them?Ī fascinating idea sits at the core of Winchester regarding how one’s perceived complicity in the injury or death of others can still lead to all-consuming guilt and other mental health issues.

In the 20 years since his passing, Sarah has expanded the family mansion into a seven-story structure with myriad strange rooms, hallways that go nowhere, and different wings. Set in 1906, the film ostensibly features heiress Sarah Winchester (Helen Mirren) who inherits $20 million (nearly $600 million in today’s dollars) and becomes the majority shareholder of Winchester Repeating Arms Company following her husband’s death. Winchester is a predictable, barely scary horror movie that does its source material a disservice.
