really, really bad!

Rating: 1/10 (24 February 2012)

So, the long awaited remake of 'woman in black' is here and all I can say is . . .What a disaster! Why was the guy who wrote the screen play allowed to leave screenplay college? He has managed to miss almost every single element that made the original film, the radio play, the stage play and the book, so creepy! The film feels horribly rushed with barely any sense of foreboding or dread. Just cheap jump scares which wear horribly thin after a very short time. If Susan Hill had any kind of pride in her work, she would have stopped this piece of moribund film making as soon as the director hired harry potter. Speaking of which, I hope he likes working on the stage because his film career has taken a nasty knock! Poor boy.
