Winchester Short Movie Review

Winchester is a semi-biographical thriller about Sarah Winchester, who inherited her husband's highly profitable rifle company and then built the famous Mystery House in San Jose, California, possibly as a means to deal with the ghosts of those that killed by the arms of Winchester. As expected, there is some violence with firearms, including a child who is possessed by a spirit that shoots a woman. You will also see corpses and a splash of blood, and there are several scares of jumping, ghosts and other things of fear. A character may be abusing the drug's laudanum, as well as alcohol, although it stops in the middle of the movie, with few negative effects. The same character is shown with three women who may be prostitutes; There are subtle allusions to payment. The naked back of a woman is glimpsed, and the man kisses the three of them. Language is not really a problem, but there is a use of "bitch".
