Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Oh no. I wasn't going to write a review because I don't really like writing negative reviews - however ...This film is so awful. I can't begin to describe how awful it is. The acting, the effects, the story line ... Everything. The acting is so bad, I don't know whether the actors were terrible or the script was terrible. Maybe it was both. It wasn't even funny bad acting; it was just plain bad. Cringe.The effects were so bad I was shocked to learn this film was made in 2009. Seriously, the 80s had better effects. The ghosts weren't scary, the noises were irritating and let's face it, stupid. Nothing creepy about this film.The story line ... What story line? I don't know why the house was haunted. I don't know why things were happening. I was irritated by the characters and hoped that horrible things happened to them.The film needs far more work. It has the basis for a pretty good film, but it just feels so rushed. Sorry to any writers, directors, actors etc of this film; you did a bad job I'm afraid. I wish I could give less than 1/10.

Please for the love of god never take the time to watch this movie. Its really not hard to make a good movie from low budget that will ACTUALLY scare you, take Paranormal Activity for example.The house is the only thing true about the story, which is cheesy to mislead people into watching it when they expect something totally different. Whats worse is the portrayal of the Winchester house from the outside totally looks like a scaled down version dollhouse with horrible blue screen special effects behind it. To think the movie starts with, like many horror movies of this genre, that it is based on true events is a shame.My opinion - this movie should of gone straight to DVD, and someone should have used those DVD's for shot-put practice.=============Please Read This Part If Anything=====================I only watched it because it was on netflix, and when i looked up the trailer on youtube, the reviews there were good. However, i noticed all of the reviews talked about a scam site, which luckily i never visited. The site is known as sitemoovis.co.cc and i STRONGLY advise you do not visit it. I was smart enough not to do so, i went ahead and did some research to see if anyone got any malware or bugs from it and apparently some did. I should of been more suspicious when every review with that sites name in it was VERY good, and i realized something was off when the movie was VERY BAD. I just thought the IMDb community should know of this scam and stay away from it.

Okay there were countless reasons why this movie was atrocious. But i can honestly say that it was placed in the wrong genre. I really think it belongs in the comedy section of a movie store / netflix. The acting was HORRIFIC. The movie was supposed to last 1 hour 25 minutes but it took my sister and I almost 3 hours to watch because we had to stop and rewind and continue to laugh at the terrible acting attempts. First of all the family that arrives at the house moves in, eats dinner and falls asleep. When they wake up in the middle of the night they are WEARING THE SAME CLOTHES!!!!!!! not sure why no one notices this, but it definitely adds to comedy aspect of the movie.The daughter was supposed to be 7 years old or something but she was taller than the mother and looked like she was about 17 years old. And WTF happened to that woman who flew backwards into a tree after creating the magic dove soap circle. Or the trashbag baby car seat.The fathers side burns where awkward as hell and the mother sad to say was definitely the best actress in the movie which pretty much says it all.This movie was LOL funny and if it were in the comedy section I would give it a 10 out of 10.

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!
