Good Old School Scares

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2012)

This movie gives the audience good old school scares. Daniel Radcliffe gives an effective performance as Arthur Kipps a young lawyer in Edwardian England who gets caught up in supernatural events involving a haunted house in a remote village. I found this movie to be utterly terrifying because of what was not explicitly shown. The supporting cast helped sell the premise of the movie. I screamed frequently in terror during this movie especially when the title apparition makes her appearances. If you are seeking a silly slasher flick where a bunch of silly teenagers get carved up by some psycho with a big knife then this movie is not for you. However, if you like old school scares in the Hammer Films tradition run to a theater near you and see The Woman In Black.
