creepy ghost story in a marsh

Rating: 6/10 (8 February 2013)

This ghost story was pretty good. Lawyer, Arthur Kipps is sent to an English village to dig up dirt on a house that is up for sale. It is apparent that the locals don't want him there and don't want him going to the Eel Marsh house. He goes to the house anyways and spots a woman in black plus hears odd noises. He goes back to the village and witnesses a child die by drinking some lye. He's given a place to stay by Daily, the rich man in town, whom has also lost a child. He tells Arthur about the legend of the woman and that a child dies soon after she is seen, but Daily is not a believer. So the last part is about Arthur trying to solve the mystery. He finds out why the ghost has come back for revenge and tries to appease her. Frankly, I didn't see how he could stay in that house with all the noises and visions going on. That would be too creepy. And why don't the villagers with kids just move.
Any ways, we get a surprise, satisfying ending.
FINAL VERDICT: Pretty good, worth a viewing.
