	Media	Author	Review

		Tim Robey Telegraph	"Not even Helen Mirren's glares can save this screamingly bad poltergeist pile-up (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Sarah Ward Screendaily	"That 'Winchester' always feels routine comes across as a missed opportunity, boasting many of the right elements yet never quite falling into place."
