Chilly Story, Great Acting, and Decent Ending

Rating: 7/10 (4 February 2012)

I'm an avid moviegoer but don't often watch horror flicks due to the gore and violence. "The Woman in Black" was surprisingly good and I was even able to look past Daniel Radcliffe as his former Harry Potter because of the fantastic acting.
The story does a good job at bringing chill to the viewer as the plot stays a mystery from throughout the beginning to the middle. Along with the chill, there are plenty of thrills that have you startled here and there throughout the flick. The director does a good job at timing the thrills for the fact that you feel like something is about to happen, but still ends up startling you because it's not exactly at the moment you were expecting.
I have to disagree with some of the reviews on here that state that the movies goes downhill after mid way through. I felt as the tempo and chill continues all the way through till the end, and actually thought "The Woman in Black" has a decent ending unlike many horror/thrill movies. Again, my opinion but overall thoroughly enjoyed the movie and give it an 8 out of 10.
The only advice I would give is possibly wait a week or two to go watch "The Woman in Black" due to all the giggling, texting, talking teenagers obsessed with Daniel Radcliffe, who fill the theater for this movie due to thinking this is somehow a sequel to the Harry Potter films.... I can say in appreciation that it's far from the Harry Potter story-line :)
