A young lawyer (Radcliffe) travels to a remote village where he discovers the vengeful ghost of a scorner woman is terrorizing the locals
The story centers on Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) a lawyer and widower with a young son. Needing to pay the bills, he accepts a job settling the estate of a recently deceased recluse in small town far from home. What he doesn’t know, however, is that the town is haunted by an evil spirit that takes its revenge against young children, and Arthur’s arrival resurrects the campaign of terror.
Trailer:
A good horror film needs good scares, and The Woman in Black comes through on that. Director James Watkins does a fantastic job establishing atmosphere, using shadows and low light to create a sense of disorientation and panic. The house in which Arthur is working is filled with terrifying toys and porcelain dolls that aren’t scary by themselves, but do a brilliant job adding a creepy ambiance to every scene. Unfortunately, the movie does make heavy use of jump scares, which will effectively raise the audiences’ blood pressure, but feel cheap and phony in the aftermath.
