Old fashion quiet horror without anything scary

Rating: 5/10 (8 February 2014)

Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) is a widower with a young son. His boss gives him one final chance in his job, and sends him to recently deceased elderly Mrs. Drablow's Eel Marsh House. He is to find and examine all of her papers especially her will. He soon learns there is a mysterious woman in black who threatens the local children.
It's very old fashion. It's dark. It's foggy. It's slow. It's not good enough to be described as moody. Director James Watkins has made a quiet style horror. But as a horror, it completely fails or it is completely outdated. There is nothing scary here. Daniel Radcliffe is a fine actor. This is what horror used to be ... about 50 years ago. Even the most squeamish among us will be bored with this.
