Marvellous old-fashioned horror!
Based on the 1980s novel of the same name by Susan Hill, The Woman in Black is one of the most old-fashioned horror movies in recent memory. Horror filmmakers have grown distinctly lazier in the past decade or so, relying more on cheap jump scares and/or gratuitous gore in lieu of mood, atmosphere, scares and story. Thu... read more
Original Was Better
Review
I wasn't expecting much to be honest. I feel that the haunted house genre has, for lack of a better phrase, died a horrible death in the movie industry. Too much focus is placed on special effects, twist endings or convoluted "is it all in their minds?" storylines (see Shutter Island, The Haunting r... read more

“Warning: Spoilers
There are a few assets that drew me into seeing The Woman in Black in the first place. One was to see if Daniel Radcliffe had grown as an actor and whether he would acquit himself well in a cast-against type sort of role. And there is also the support cast, Ciaran Hinds, Janet McTeer, Roger Allam and Shaun Dooley are quite a cast don't you think, and especially that I loved the book, the 1989 TV version and stage play so much. I went to see The Woman in Black a few days ago with my 3 sisters, but I wanted to think about in depth what I thought about the film before writing about it. It was a film that I still can't get out of my head and even just yesterday my sisters and I were having this big discussion about what we liked and comparing it to its other mediums” read more
Watched films in 2019 (87 movies items)"10.3. Netflix Periatteessa ihan tyylikäs kauhistelu, mutta lapselliset pomppupelottelut ja tyypillinen ennalta arvattavuus tekivät tehtävänsä. Tää oli muuten Hammer-elokuva, ällistyin."
2019 Diary: February (15 movies items)" I first saw this in theaters and thought it was nice, very beautiful setting, a classic rundown mansion setting and boy did they do a good job of filling this old decrepit house full of stuff. It's got dozens of antique toys and taxidermy curiosities and books and old furniture and I would honestly pay money to get a tour of it because it looks like loads of fun to wander through. I am still very impressed with the overall production design, they put in a lot of work to make things look good in"
October 2018 Horrorfest (42 movies items)"First viewing - Oct. 30th Ghost story double feature What struck me the most about this film is how well they nail the atmosphere and deliver some truly creepy moments. The story is somewhat predictable in places, but also manages to deliver some twists that work in its favor and offset the obvious moments. The cast is pretty solid, and I'm definitely a fan of Radcliffe's darker film work. He's really done a respectable job of proving he can do more than just be Harry Potter. I don't think it's"
