The Woman in Black is a paint-by-numbers horror movie. You know what you're getting and you can see the scary coming from a mile away. It does have some fun jump out moments and some hair-raising creepiness, but it's nothing new or special. Daniel Radcliffe isn't out of his Harry Potter shadow yet (I kept wanting him to blast the ghosts with his wand), but this horror movie is a good start.

One of the most underrated horror films ever made, this made for TV film shows how to employ atmosphere and vibe on a minimal budget and get away with flying results. The entire film, shot on 16mm film and shot on location is scary from start to end. The story is already pretty well known- A young solicitor is invited to a far flung location to see a strange happening: A female ghost terrorizing the land. It is based on a novel and a famous Daniel Radcliffe version was also made recently in 2012, but this is the film to watch in my opinion.

One of the best modern day ghost stories you'll will ever watch. I saw this one 3 or 4 years ago and recently watched it again - just as good the second time around. Would be a great one in a horror film collection.I will not rehash the storyline, I'll just reiterate how good the movie is. There are a handful of jump scares done in good taste.Atmosphere - lots of it! Good acting - you bet ya! Good story - yes it is. There are a handful of jump scares done in good taste, eerie subtle horror, suspenseful at times - definitely worth watching. It's just as good as the classic Hammer Horror films. 9/10

In the modern time i struggle to find a genuinely terrifying and enjoyable film. This film is brilliant at creating with intense build ups and bone chilling scenes. As it follows the novel by the author Susan Hill, it gives its own twists to allow its own originality.So do not decline watching this film because you think you know what happens. CGI is used in many cases however it is not over used yet can look slightly silly in same cases. The figure of the woman was well portrayed as unknown and the pale scarred face was particularly sinister especially when it adapted into the environment of multiple scenes. The Gothic, Victorian theme gave it a constant feel of uneasiness and the atmosphere uplifted a very miserable emotion by using foggy,rainy weather and other atmospheric details. Daniel Radcliffe playing as the main character Arthur Kipps was a well developed character and showed great faces of fear and other emotions to analyse to you watching how he is feeling and also adds towards the extreme intensity of the film. At some point i do feel as if the music was slightly over the top especially to uproar jump scares.To conclude this, i believe this to be a very thrilling and scary movie which is unique in many ways. I would definitely recommend this to a horror or Gothic enthusiast.
