Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

rivanerakaren Daniel Radcliffe is fantastic in this period ghost story and the scenery is excellent, kept me glued right to the end.

jesusfreaks1969 Suspense without all the blood, guts, nudity, and language!! They really had to think of scary scenes, lighting and childhood and adult fears! Loved it not predictable and very real storyline!!

vishnu-dileep08 The story is basically about a young man who travels to a village and comes across to know that the village is being terrorized with someone that has a vengeful mind.If you want to get good scares this movie had all those elements such as unexpected scares, spooky toys, children, etc.For me there were still something messed up with the story line for example the occupation of the hero, why did he come to that house in the village at the first place and the flash back story of the woman I had to do research and get all the details I needed to know but it could have been explained much more better in the movie and not complicate things. Acting vise Daniel Radcliffe did a wonderful job as well as the others. The ending of the movie was also really good and unexpected. Will be looking forward to seeing the sequel soon and reviewing that title tooPersonally I would recommend this movie to anyone.Notable ActingDaniel Radcliffe his other famous movies you can watch are the harry potter series and many moreCiaran Hinds his other famous movies you can watch is frozen and many moreMy Rating 7/10

buddypatrick If you have never seen a single horror film in your entire life, then perhaps the Woman in Black is for you; however even the average film goer can identify this is tired, worn out, done-to-death story we've seen hundreds - - if not thousands - - of times before. The story is simple. In the superstitious turn of the 19th Century to the 20th Century, a solicitor/lawyer/whatever has business with a scary old house that local village people fear and believe to be haunted. It turns out the house is very much haunted by a ghost, a woman in black, who inflicts murder and grief upon the village folk because of her sons death at the house as Daniel Radcliffe's character discovers by snooping through desks and drawers whilst staying at the house. The plot escalates quickly, which leads one to believe a large portion of the script had been removed in the cutting room floor. Radcliffe's character catches on and becomes cluey all too soon into the story.The only problem with this film that writes it off as a success is that it is so, so, so very unoriginal. I can't imagine how many times I've seen this type of story before; maybe I'm just neck deep into horror films but as previously suggested, even someone with the slightest idea of horror and thriller knows this textbook ghost story. There is nothing original about the film, which I could overlook if there were redeeming characteristics like a uniqueness in film making, musical composition or script writing but the Woman in Black falls flat in all aspects of this. Furthermore, the jump scares and attempt to create a sinister, spooky vibe are some what embarrassing.With the overall film being taken into account, it isn't actually bad. The style is superb, with brilliant cinematography and quality acting (not so much on Radcliffe's behalf) and what I really liked about this movie is its location setting – the swampy causeway leading to Osea Island and the general countryside of Essex set a lovely and gloomy mood for the remaining hour and thirty minutes. I would never recommend or even bring this title up in conversation, as I can think of plenty of other classic ghost story titles at the top of my head that are far more interesting than this brilliantly developed, but unforgivably run of the mill story.
