What will turn into a classic...

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2012)

This movie was brilliant, to start things out to the point. It was what many could see as a horror film that was actually made right, with nothing overdone and the special effects limited to make it all that more convincing. Sure other reviews say that there is no plot, or that it is just full of cheap scares, or that the whole interest of the movie is behind Daniel Radcliffe. This is all mostly not true. OK, while i'm sure Daniel Radcliffe did bring more people to view the film, he actually did a brilliant job, and you never once looked at him and thought he used to be Harry Potter. If you don't fully understand the movie you may not understand Daniel motives the whole way through, but it actually makes sense, and there actually is a good plot behind everything, including the woman in black herself. With the scares, well, some people may have said they were cheap and repetitive, but they were actually done very well. They were not something that you would get sick of and they didn't take away anything from the movie, if not actually make it better. The scares were well thought out, and nothing was to overdone to seem ridiculous. That might actually be the best part about this movie. Just like any good classic suspense or horror film, things were never done to a point where they went from scary to unbelievable, and the movie did not use any of the obvious plain moments that we would usually expect.
