Great movie except the ending

Rating: 4/10 (12 February 2012)

Great suspense and atmosphere. My wife and I loved the movie and were on the edge of our seats until the ending where it all fell apart. The hero goes to all of the trouble to appease the ghost (The Woman) (including risking his own life in an attempt to save his own son) after the ghost has marked the boy for death and thinks she is at peace, but then she just decides to come back anyway to kill his son. Not only does the son die, but so does the hero. And to make things worse, this villain victory is justified because the hero and his son are united with his wife who died in childbirth?! What a disappointment! This is yet another downer movie from Hollywood showing just how out of touch they are with America. Enough bad guys win in the end in reality and I think endings like this are not what America is looking for. Without the horrible ending I would have given the movie a 7 out of 10. If I had to rate the ending alone I would have to give it a 1 out of 10. Another review said that if you liked The Others you will like this movie. We saw The Others, loved The Others, and bought The Others. The Woman in Black took what would have been a good movie, threw in some cheesy parts that reminded me of The Ring and Blair Witch, and made me want my money back in the end. Hollywood desperation is really showing - re-releasing The Godfather, Star Wars in 3D, and now this garbage? What's next? Kindly refund my $19!
