This ordinary horror rises beyond its station. Read more

It doesn’t have the jump factors like most scary movies do, and it’s not entirely creepy...

The idea itself is neat. Other than that, there’s not much here in terms of substance. Read more

Is built only from standard “boo!s” and lazy red herrings. Read more

There are a couple of decent, if foreseeable, twists but Winchester crucially overlooks the innate real-life weirdness of its setting and the opportunities that offers.

When the pasty, sub J-horror ghouls aren't jumping out of nooks and crannies like the underpaid employees of a Halloween attraction, we're forced to endure snooze-inducing scenes in which Mirren makes up the plot as she goes along over cups of tea with Clarke, who looks like he's struggling to stay awake. I know how he feels, and so will you if you if you take a dose of this cinematic Xanax. Read more
