The Woman in Black
It makes sense for the Grim Reaper to be female: the black robe is flattering; the clientele is predominantly male; and you're supermodel thin.
And though the drably dressed apparition in this horror movie isn't death personified, she is taking lives.
Assigned to the countryside to deal with the estate of a deceased client, a lawyer, Arthur (Daniel Radcliffe), comes face-to-face with terror.
While working at the family manor, Arthur is vexed by the vile visage of a feminine specter that's reputed to appear before a child dies by its own hands.
Soon enough, her appearance begets the death of a local girl, inspiring Arthur and a curious landowner (Ciarán Hinds) to investigate past occurrences.
Ominous, with an unconventional ending, this Gothic horror opts to induce goose bumps instead of gag-reflexes.
Incidentally, with Arthur's legal aid, the dead kids could mount a class action lawsuit against the woman in black. (Yellow Light)
