28 Winchester

(#15) California's Winchester Mystery House, now in movie form! Directed by the Spierig brothers (Daybreakers, Jigsaw) and starring Helen Mirren (yes, the famous one), this period ghost story was actually a minor box office hit despite reviews calling the film "staggeringly pointlesss" and "inert."

“For all their technical competence, the Spierig brothers don’t show great understanding of how ghost stories actually work.” —Matt Glasby, Total Film
