Ahead of its 2018 release, the haunted house movie Winchester is teased in a new image (revealed by People.com) that shows Helen Mirren as Sarah Winchester, who believed she was haunted by the spirits of people slain by Winchester rifles.
Directed by Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig (Saw: Legacy, Predestination, Daybreakers), Winchester also stars Jason Clarke, Sarah Snook, and Angus Sampson. Filming on the movie will take place partly in the real-life Winchester Mystery House. The film is expected to be released by CBS Films sometime in early 2018, and we'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated as more information is revealed.
From the Press Release: "The film follows the story of firearm heiress Sarah Winchester (Helen Mirren), who was convinced that she was haunted by the souls killed at the hands of the Winchester repeating rifle. After the sudden deaths of her husband and child, she threw herself into the 24 hour a day, seven days a week construction of an enormous mansion designed to keep the evil spirits at bay. But when skeptical San Francisco psychiatrist Eric Price (Jason Clarke) is dispatched to the estate to evaluate her state of mind, he discovers that her obsession may not be so insane after all. WINCHESTER will take audiences inside the labyrinth like house that is believed to be one of the most haunted places in the world."
