A really good film. Don't let the 12 rating put you off.

Rating: 7/10 (22 December 2013)

THE WOMAN IN BLACK
This is a very good movie. I fully expected to see it and think it was not very good, but it was a pleasant surprise.
The movie is about a guy who has to go and sort out the paperwork at a house where the owner has died. The problem is, the house is haunted. Because he has entered the house, the ghost is taking revenge on everyone in the town.
The trailer always interested me with this movie, and seeing as the legendary Hammer Horror company did this film, I had to see it. 2 things were on my mind when I went to the cinema to originally see it. First of all, the movie is a horror film but is only rated 12... how could it be a horror? It is very psychological. There is not much scary to see in the film, the whole thing is in the atmosphere in the movie. Secondly I thought, can Daniel Radcliffe get past Harry Potter with a career? Can he really act? Well, the answer to both questions is a big yes. Daniel acted very well. I thought he did a brilliant job and hope to see him in more roles in the future.
The horror element obviously wasn't that scary due to it being a 12 rating, but I did like the woman in black character. She was very subtle in places and when she crept up on Daniel, it was creepy.
The acting was great by everyone. The movie stars Daniel Radcliffe, Ciaran Hinds & Janet McTeer.
This film is best watched with all the lights out in the dark and the volume up high.
The effects are very good. The ghosts looked great and were all very spooky looking.
I will give this film 7 out of 10.
