The Woman in Black review

Arthur Kipps, a young solicitor, is sent to the isolated village of Crythin Gifford, to attend to the effects of the recently deceased Mrs Alice Drablow. There he discovers a secret past and a malevolent force that stalks the villager's children - the Woman in Black. 

Beautiful to look at with lots of genuine scares and an admirable sense of menace. This is a classy ghost stories that at times relies a little too heavily on formulaic scares. This is still one of the scariest ghost stories of the last couple of years and it's good to see Hammer Horror back making quality horror. 

Daniel Radcliffe puts in an excellent performance and the landscape and setting is sumptuously Gothic. This film will have you peeping between your fingers.
