100 WORD FILM REVIEWS<br>Winchester

Jason Clarke and Helen Mirren stare off into the bright future in which they are no longer in Winchester (Image  Lionsgate) 

WINCHESTER: F 

Winchester commits the ultimate horror movie sin: it’s boring. So, so, so, so, so boring. I walked out at the end of the climax because I couldn’t bare to sit through any more of the film. Nothing can save it, not even Helen Mirren herself. I’m not going to talk about the movie anymore because it’s terrible and I feel asleep trying to write the synopsis. Go read about the Winchester Mystery House on Wikipedia, then watch any other Helen Mirren movie (except RED2) and pretend Winchester never happened. You’re welcome.
