Based on the supposedly haunted real-life mansion of the same name, Winchester stars Helen Mirren as the grieving widow and designer of the bizarrely constructed mystery house. After the sudden death of her husband and child, Sarah Winchester inherits the Winchester gun fortune, visits a medium and begins constructing the ever-expanding house without a plan to house the spirits who had fallen victim to Winchester rifles. Whether or not you believe in ghosts, the mansion is a truly strange and impressive construction. At its peak it had over 500 rooms and seven floors, but some were destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco quake. Just like the mansion, the movie is bizarre: twisted, spooky and stylish.
