Winifred Meeks

As I sat down to watch the 2021 horror movie "Winifred Meeks" from writer and director Jason Figgis, then I was expecting to see a horror movie, as it was labeled as a horror movie here on IMDb. But instead I was in for a movie of absolute boredom and something being really remote from being a horror movie.

Well, unless you consider a whole movie of virtually nothing happening as horror, then by all means "Winifred Meeks" is pure horror.

The storyline told in "Winifred Meeks", as written by Jason Figgis definitely sounded good on its descriptive synopsis, but wow, translated to the screen it was pure torment to sit through. This movie was so uneventful that you could watch the first 5 minutes, leave, and then come back for the last 5 minutes and you wouldn't have missed a single thing of the movie.

And I must admit paired with the synopsis, then the movie's cover and the fact that it had Lara Belmont in the lead role were good selling points to the movie, and it definitely had set up some expectations to the movie. And director Jason Figgis just delivered 1 hour and 28 minutes of nothing.

I do enjoy horror movies and have seen more than my share, but "Winifred Meeks" is definitely a top contender for being a pointless and boring horror movie. If you are a fan of the horror genre, then you must do yourself a favor and stay well clear of this 2021 train wreck of a movie.

This is a movie that could potentially be used in studies to cure insomnia. Talk about being boring. It was just uncanny.

My rating of Jason Figgis's "Winifred Meeks" lands on a generous two out of ten stars, based solely on the production value of the movie.

In britain every house older than one generation more or less has some kind of ghost attached to it, the brits are good at that, why so happens is still a mystery, as the mystery we follow in this slow burning ,very small casted called winifreed meeks.

Its a sexually betrayed woman author, that needs a change of space to get harmsway by her beloved one, to try to write and finish a book asap according to her publisher. Dad takes the job as a house seeker, and comes to find a house near the coast i guess southeastshores of england..the woman do get her writing done, but do sense that there are some omnity in the premises. She starts searching local sources , libraries and the web to find the prehistory of the house..

its a slowburning one womans show, not particularly scary, and the storyline must be some of the easiest every foreign interprette job ever done, the acting is realistic, non panicking british, the film hold itself at boyancy do to good, but not overly great filmography. And ominous sound and music follows you all the time as an ambient poltergeist, the locations and the house she lives in is just amazing, seems like a large bed and breakfast hired at a low cost due to pandemic lockdown, 7 or 8 bedrooms there is for sure.

So its a ghost film, is it a friendly ghost i wont tell, just let yourself into the tale, though without the grumpy old mans recommendations. Recommendations.

This film is like the Shining. I went completely mad watching this and really wanted to grab and axe and chop the living hell out of it. I couild only last thirty minutes of this and in that time there is literally no horror elements to it at all, even some terrible Horror movies I've seen can pull that off, establish the genre within the first ten minutes, this is so bland, i began to wander off in my mind and wonder what circumstances led to this lead actress agreeing to audition for this and accept to commit to the shooting. I felt sorry for her and I zoned out of the second phone call of her and her father whilst stock footage played.

Totally boring. I know some reviewers state people these days are always wanting instant gratification when it comes to horror. They then go on to defend this movie as if they are somehow more sophisticated. I'm all for a good atmospheric slow burn but this totally boring. Endless piano in the back ground, TV and radio playing in the background watching the main character fall asleep not to mention endless landscapes. It is as if they are trying to calm you down ready for bed.

The building of atmosphere is about setting a scene making you feel on edge but here it is the whole movie.

Honestly I'd say give it a miss. I grow increasingly frustrated at the amount of amateurish or low budget dross that appear on Amazon. Sometimes you get a diamond in the rough but this is not it.

I read reviews about this movie and it sounded interesting, a mix of drama and supernatural, something I used to like about British movies when I was a lot younger. First there was the radio drama, playing loudly during a car ride to where she was staying. Why? I'm guessing to cover up the very loud piano music that did not cese playing after. I got the part of "and a happy new year" which played over and over. Why? I do not care if a movie will eventually end up being great, I care about my sanity having to here someone playing bad Chistmas music that has zero to do with anything. Made it to 12 minutes and 22 seconds. Not the first movie with some ego maniac playing loud piano music, is that an insane new movie genre?
