The Woman In Black

Synopsis

This tense, gothic horror, based on a popular novel, sees Daniel Radcliffe playing widowed 1900s lawyer, Arthur Kipps, who is sent to a remote English village to handle the affairs of a recently deceased eccentric. But Arthur's official duty quickly takes a back seat when a series of spine-tingling occurrences makes him realize that his client's mansion is haunted. The titular spirit lost something precious in life and is now so hell-bent on revenge that not even children are safe from her wrath. Handsomely shot and nicely performed, this is a satisfying chiller that combines creepy, old school atmospherics with quick-jump shocks.
