If you're looking at this trailer and asking yourself why Helen Mirren is doing what looks like a cheap-looking, silly-sounding horror film, recall that she starred in Calgilula in the '70s - which was essentially a porn film - and Dennis Hopper starred in Super Mario Bros. with Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo.
The story follows the true-life story of the Winchester mansion, which was built by the eccentric widow of the man who created the Winchester rifle. Sarah Winchester, played by Helen Mirren in this film, claimed that the house was haunted by the ghosts of every person killed by a rifle her husband made.
So, yeah, haunted house movie with Helen Mirren and Jason Clarke and it's directed by the guys who made Daybreakers - that really bland vampire film about global warming and resources.
Take a look. Winchester arrives in Irish cinemas on February 2nd.
