The Woman In Black - A Review

5 Stars - Terrifying


Harry Potter with ghosts this is not...


When I heard they were doing a film of The Woman In Black I had mixed feelings, because I have seen the play, which was terrifying, my fear was they would get it wrong. Thank goodness my fear is completely unfounded.

From the opening shot this film oozes atmosphere and has you on the edge of your seat scared of every shadow and leaping at every little noise.

Daniel Radcliffe gives a wonderfully understated performance, really getting across the terror of the situation and making you want to see him get out of it. He has come on leaps and bounds since Harry Potter and I look forward to seeing more from him.

The Supporting cast also do a terrific job, especially Ciaran Hinds.

There's not a lot I can say without spoiling the plot which I would not dare do.

See this film, it is properly scary.
