Does justice to the book and earlier film. Scared me witless!

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2012)

As an ardent fan of the 1989 TV film, I had very high expectations of this big screen adaption. And I was not let down.
It scared me witless!
What I really liked about this version was that they embraced the woman in black throughout the movie. You see her throughout the movie which keeps her always in the front of your mind. Every time they had a shot of Daniel, I found myself concentrating on the background. It was really un-nerving. Some others have said she is seen too much, I disagree. The suspense was awesome (luckily, I downloaded this movie and could pause for 10 minutes every so often to get my nerves back--OK it took me 5 hours to watch this 90 minute flick!) Although the end was different from the other versions (book and earlier film), I still think it maintained the character of the book. She would never forgive except perhaps right at the end.
Overall, very watchable and very enjoyable. One of the best films of 2012 so far (OK it's only February).
