La Binoche Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Terrible trailer and I couldn't finish the script. It's going to get panned and bomb. Helen Mirren deserves better (she's as good as if not better than Streep). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 So looks like we have another horror film that is going to be underestimated by the populace here LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP1025 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 This actually seems like a unique concept to me and not just another haunted house horror. The idea of building a house specifically designed to foil spirits following you is very intriguing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionsgate dropped the theater count by 500 theaters. If that doesn't show a lack of confidence, I don't know what does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Yeah, I'm not sure if this film will find its audience. It has the benefit of being largely removed from other horror films, but I personally have yet to see proper marketing for this. I usually see something, anything, when I browse the internet or stroll through the halls of the theaters browsing the posters. For this film, I don't remember coming across one thing by accident. I wanted to think this was going to do well, as it is the only new wide release coming out next weekend unless Oscar-film distributors are planning something I don't know about. But it can't do well if nobody knows about it. It gives horror fans the impression that they're better off waiting for Annihilation or Strangers: Prey at Night, or Hereditary, even. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I haven't watched the trailer but nice to see a movie about friendly ghosts for once judging by the title. I mean, helping the community and building houses I can only assume DIY SOS style for people that need them. Good job ghosts you guys get too much bad press. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poseidon Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 It's doing pretty well on YT and Social Media, so I think Lionsgate might be underestimating what they have here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of hope the film plays the ghosts ambigiously....you have to make up your mind if they are for real or they exist only in Sarah Winchester's mind. Once again, I am bemused by people who don't realize that the basic story of Sarah Winchester and the house she built to foil the ghosts is true...an anybody who has visited the Winchester Mystery House in San Jose can tell you.
