Rammsteinen Sarah OK, now, let's get started. Plot: The story itself is actually good, which is unbelievable for this movie. Plot is telling us that the weird things are happening in the house, and the environment is disturbing as well. But the rest of the movie... oh my god.Cast: Actors are really... um, awful. They don't know how to act. They don't know A N Y T H I N G. No expressions, idiotic dialogs, I think that the 'actors' got 2 dollars in the end, since the movie is so god damn awful. Why is it released anyway? I would die full of shame. Effects are scary, but overused. So overused that they become hilarious in the end. (Black guy chasing ghosts with a thing which looks like a condom; GHOST can't find the woman because she's hiding behind him while hugging another ghost; they are walking with a CANDLE around the house; at one time outside is SUNNY, and in the second scene... darkness. I mean, seriously?; The guy is DYING and in the next second he's like running without A N Y trace of B L O O D which was boiling out of him 2 seconds ago; black guy using soap to make a circle etc.) So, if you want to watch something and die of laughter, watch this.

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

scriptspring-594-680587 Apart from getting the history of The Winchester House completely wrong, there is no substance in the story, the characters are not well developed, so you don't really care what happens to them, and the trite horror movie set-ups are the very definition of campy. It isn't scary and you can't even laugh at it as a suitable schlock flick. A complete waste of an hour and a half.For those of us who are familiar with the actual Winchester House in San Jose, CA, the house portrayed is not the actual house, nor is it in its actual location. How hard would it have been for the makers of this film to have done even a little bit of research to get the content in the ballpark? I love the genre, so this comes from someone who can appreciate a good horror movie. Unfortunately, this isn't one!

sleepingbeauty_19 Haunting of Winchester House is a unique horror film because not only is the story full of interesting twists and turns, but it was produced in 3-D. You will certainly find yourself jump and cringe at some the more intense scenes, for things will really JUMP out at you. It is so refreshing to see a horror film that doesn't merely rely on buckets of blood and fake body parts being flung around to supply the entertainment and bulk of the movie. The use of practical stunts and props within Haunting of Winchester House does add an element of realism that is lacking in so many movies today. Digital, it's always digital, but the effects leave a lasting impression when you can see that it is a real person in the shot, and not a computer image. Haunting of Winchester House creates a classic scary movie feel, but with modern cinematic touches and expression throughout. If you have numbed yourself with bloody, cheesy slasher films then perhaps this movie is not for you. But for those with a more refined taste for blood and chills, Haunting of Winchester House is right up your alley. I look forward to more films from director Mark Atkins and his crew. In a time where 3-D is the future of film, I can only imagine what is in store!
