Absolutely frightening to the core!

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2012)

I cannot recall the last time I was truly scared from start to finish in a movie. The Woman in Black is a bouquet of evil, menacing, heart-stopping characters and moments that will keep the hair standing on your neck for the duration of the film. The timing and Macabre nature of this story and setting are perfect with just as much anticipation of fear as fear itself. Daniel Radcliffe comfortably fits in with this genre and played his character smoothly, managing not to wince at all the scary parts, a trait in characters of horror films that can ruin the element of surprise. The plot was solid and eluded to a sadness of sorts, a dark history that shrouded the small group of members in the fear-driven town. The movie-watcher is even moved to empathy for the evil main character at points while not losing grip of the blanket needed to hide behind. And the final terrific cinematic surprise, especially in a horror movie, was the great ending.
I love horror movies and i truly loved this one, I highly recommend it and my best suggestion...don't turn away for a moment.
