Which is just . . .

Yeah, I keep seeing this drooling over her for the past number of years and I chuckle. Most of these boys would change their stance if they saw her without makeup or airbrushing. I'm not saying she's ugly (definitely very attractive years past) but so many people seem to forget about the makeup and airbrushing factor with all celebrities it seems.

As far as the movie goes, I think she's a great choice for the role.

As far as the movie goes, I think she was a great choice for the role.

For Mirren, she has the charisma and charm included.

BTW, Jamie Lee Curtis did a photoshoot in which she had zero makeup and zero airbrushing and she still looked rather darling.

Leonidas King · 02-01-2018, 05:34 AM

Lol. Nobody seems to be caring for this and it opens in 2 days.

Yes it looks bad but how bad can it be?

I mean I'll still give it a shot.

MikeScott · 02-01-2018, 05:39 AM

I don't think it looks bad. Just pretty generic. I'd go see it if I didn't have so much to see already. Still might anyway at some point.

I agree, although Mirren is obviously the beneficiary of good genes. And for those who say it's all makeup, remember that almost all women use makeup and most of them still don't look as good as Helen Mirren. Even though she probably gets a bit tired of being a sex symbol, nowadays, it's a simple fact that Mirren looks better than many women who are significantly younger than her. Remember this famous photo from 2008, when she was turning 63:

And here's a photo from the 2018 Golden Globes, for good measure. I think anyone would love to look like this the year they turn 73:

As for Curtis, if you mean this photoshoot, from 2002, when she was 43, I agree that it's one of her most beautiful photos ever. Again, though, she also got some great genes:

[Show spoiler]

Now, as for this movie, I have to agree it looks pretty average, but at the same time, I want to support films with older leads, so I'll probably see it.

As someone who has visited the real Winchester House, I care.

I don't think it will be a particularly good movie, but hey, it's still got Helen Mirren

Monterey Jack · 02-01-2018, 01:05 PM

I have faith in the Spierig brothers (although I refuse to watch that Saw movie they did last year, due to being attached to that wretched franchise.

). Unless reviews are in the toilet, I'll be checking this out.

Worship.my.wreck · 02-01-2018, 01:14 PM

I might watch this one on Tuesday.

I think it looks okay - like someone else said, a little generic, but I think it will be worth a watch.

It's exactly the kind of movie I would previously have waited for Netflix or check it out from the library, but now with MoviePass I will check it out in theaters this weekend.

Britnasty · 02-01-2018, 03:05 PM

So from a reviews I've seen on YT, this seems to be more of a supernatural drama with random jump scares thrown in to be a straight forward horror film.

Expectations have been tempered.

jacobsever · 02-01-2018, 03:18 PM

I think this could be pretty good. I expect it to be better than the Insidious/Conjuring bullish**, but not nearly as good as The Witch, It Follows, etc.

Just a decent, wide release horror film. Looks like it has some classic possession horror vibes from the 70's. Can't wait to see it this weekend.

InuYashaCrusade · 02-01-2018, 06:24 PM

Sounds pretty bad based on this review but I'm still interested in it.

MikeScott · 02-02-2018, 04:14 AM

Did anyone see it tonight? Were there many others there?

Curious too if anyone has seen it? Might see it next week.

I use to have annual passes to the Winchester Mystery house, the place is crazy!

It might be, but I won't be ab;e to tell based on Jeremy Jahns - his tastes and opinions are usual pretty sucky.

I 2nd that, not big on Jahns either. I really only trust Chris Stuckmann and a hand full of other movie reviewers.

Searched the #Winchester tag on instagram. A few posts from horror fans, who hated it.
